Memorial General Hospital Helistop

Pre-natal was superb! Post-natal? A living hell! There was only two families in the wing at the time we were there, but it still took hours for nurses to do their jobs. They seemed to wait for the baby to go to sleep before they would burst in and poke and prod the baby until she was awake again. I asked to store a sandwich in the fridge by the nurses station at around 2:30AM. They said they couldn't vouch that it wouldn't be stolen. I figured it would be ok for the 2 hours or so it would be in there. I was wrong.... 4:30 I went to get it, and it was gone! Same two nurses sitting at the station. I asked them if they had seen what happened to it. Of course the answer was "no". The catheter was literally yanked out of my wife by a huffy nurse after she had complained that it was still in 3 hours after they said they would remove it. She still. has pain from that years later. Wife had a C-section. We were told that the baby had to be in an approved car seat to leave. Ok, no problem. Was told that she had to be in a wheelchair to leave. Ok, again, not a problem. Then was told that she had to hold the car seat all the way to the front doors. What?!? Wife barely had any strength and was in major pain!! I said I'd hold the car seat. Was told by the nurses that they would call security if I did not comply. To add insult to injury, there was construction on the first floor, so the wheelchair bumped and jostled over the torn up floor. My poor wife was almost screaming with the pain. Billing was also a joke. I guess that since I had insurance, they figured I was a cash cow. On the bill, it showed two rooms per night @ $+2K/night/room. I was like, "wait a minute! we only used one". The answer?? There was two people in the room (Wife and child). I guess they forgot to mention to me that I would be charged for two rooms. I guess that means that next time I can sleep in the next room on the bed, instead of the folding chair they gave me. So, to sum up, NEVER go to Memorial! Run, don't walk, to MountainView Regional Medical Center if you ever need any proper care. I haven't been there yet, but after Memorial, I'd rather go to Juarez!
