My mother had emergency vascular surgery on Saturday and will be there for another week. Tonight, they put a woman in her room that was transferred from Bedford Hospital that was supposed to be in isolation due to being septic. Luckily, my brother was in the room when the nurse for the other woman came in and told her family that they would need to be "suited up" and wear gloves to EVEN ENTER THE ROOM due to the severity of her contagiousness. All-the-while, my mother and brother were sitting next to them listening to the nurse's conversation WHILE EATING DINNER! If it weren't for my brother going to the nurse and telling them that they overheard their conversation, THEY WERE GOING TO LEAVE MY MOTHER IN THE ROOM, without protection! They admitted that the other woman was having a C-DIFF test done and that "the doctor ordered the woman to be in isolation". My mother stayed in the room for an hour a half after-the-fact and told my mother that they will let her know if the other woman tested positive so she could be tested.
My girlfriend and I just had our baby at Bloomington hospital. First I am writing this review for both her and I since we are still here and she is in bed attempting to rest. When we arrived to the hospital and got into our room in post partum they came in and told us our surgery time had been pushed back a half hour, no big deal but still a strike in my book. The surgery went very well our doctor “Dr. Perry” was very good and the entire c-section surgery went very well. The anesthesiologist “Dr. Ridge” was also very friendly and very professional. The operating room nurse Kristen was also very good. Overall the c-section surgery went great and was the best part of our experience. After surgery is when our bad experiences began. We have been here for 3 days and have gotten zero rest at all. They are in the room literally every 20 minutes just asking if she needs anything. We feel that they are more concerned with their protocol rather than the specific care of each patient individually. In our case there is no problems with baby or Mom other then we have had about 4 hours of broken sleep in the past 3 days. Something that I have noticed as a Dad is a lot of the nurses don’t even acknowledge that I exist, and even if I comment on something or may have a question I’ve been completely ignored. which really is upsetting considering Ive been number one support for Mom and baby the whole time. One post partum nurse in particular was very bad about this, her name was “Kat Aronson” and she was on the night shift for 2 of the 3 nights we stayed. She was the rudest, most hateful nurse I’ve ever met, that is unless another nurse was around then she put on a nice little act for them. But when she was in our room by herself she was awful!! They mostly just barge into your quiet room talking in a loud voice like it’s no big deal while your thinking to yourself, “ no we don’t need another pillow will you just leave us alone so we can rest already!!” Also they will just stand there and “shoot the s**t” with their co-workers over the foot of your bed while your waiting for them to leave. I could go on for an hour but I’ll stop here. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this hospital for child birth or for anything really, I don’t know how they keep the doors open. If you can go to Indy or research other hospitals there are way better options out there we wouldn’t come back for a paper cut.
I'm so beyond angry and no wonder people say this is the hospital to come to if you want to die! I'm thankful that I DO, in fact, have the audience to make sure this is made well aware of.
If I could rate this a 0 I would we took my grandpa to the hospital because he was having signs of a stroke so we took him to the ER we got right in no problem. They took 1 test and I can't remember what i was. They said he had and alcohol withdrawal.......? Obviously not then they drugged him up to send him home . Then the next day we took him to Monroe county hospital they said he had a stroke and we knew it was so they sent him back here to IU for a neurologist (I think that's what it's called) they are doing alright right now. But if you want something you'll have to ask 3 times.
Went to the ER with excruciating lower back pain. I've had back problems for 30 years and had some awful pain, but nothing like this. I rated the pain 10/10 for first time ever. At home, I had stabbing pain when I stood up with the support of a walker, then the stabbing pain started again after taking a few steps. I would sit down for relief, but within 2 min had stabbing pain again. Could find any relief at all only when curled up in a ball in bed. At the ER, I asked to lie down while waiting 2x but was told no, just sit there! The intake girl was so rude and condescending. Then, I had to wait several hours, sitting in a wheelchair in excruciating pain before I was helped. I cried the whole time. Once someone took me back to a treatment room, the staff were nice. They gave me pain medication to get my pain under control but said they couldn't send me for an MRI. Then they left me in another area to wait for a ride home. I wasn't sure where I was or if my ride would know where to pick me up, so I started to walk out. Couldn't wheel myself in the wheelchair or push it, so a staff person showed me how to push it from behind. So, I walked out to the main drive by myself pushing the wheelchair for support. A 90-year-old friend had to help me to the car. If I ever have to use the ER again while in Bloomington, I'll go to Monroe Hospital.
Similar to other reviews my sister went there multiple times for a problem they couldn't diagnose properly and even sent her home with the wrong prescription. She almost died if not for the fact that when the ambulance came she asked to go to the other hospital and they saved her life by airlifting her to Indianapolis!
