St. Luke's Medical Center (COE) Hospital

IN PRE-OP THE STAFF WAS GREAT, EVERYONE WAS REALLY NICE. AFTER SURGERY MOST OF THE NURSES WERE VERY CARING AND NICE BUT THERE WAS ONE THAT WAS A REAL B*T*H.
SHE REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO DO HER JOB.

I was very well taken care of. Everyone there was very helpful & friendly.

It was about all I would expext from a hospital. I had only ever been in a hospital when my daughter was born and that was in another state in a very small town, so I really have nothing to go by.
All of the staff was very friendly & helpful during my stay. Overall, I was very satisfied.

My hospital stay wasn't too bad, there were a handful of things that made it bad. I had an older nurse, who was just downright RUDE!! When I needed help getting unattached from all my tubes and leg cuffs to go to the bathroom, it took 15 minutes for someone to come, and that was after my roomie got tired of me waiting. By the time the nurse came in she asked me if I could disconnect the tube because her hands were greasy! When my roomie and I were having trouble cleaning up after using the restroom(it's kinda hard to bend over at the waist), we asked a nurse if she could call and ask ob/gyn for squeeze bottles, so we could clean and rinse ourselves off. She brought us some kind of foaming soap, that did not do the job we wanted,and then I was charged over $100.00 for that bottle. Last but not least, when an orderly had to wheel me over to get another upper GI test(to make sure there were no leaks before my NG tube came out) he was practically running and bumped right into the side of the elevator. It was ok I told him, accidents happen, right? This also happened to my roomie, and another friend of ours, with the SAME orderly!! Now, the rest of the nurses and staff at the hospital were great! There's an overnight nurse with long blonde hair worn in a ponytail, young, and very pretty who was AWESOME! I can't remember her name(but email for the older mean nurse's name, and I'll tell you!)

I was very pleased with the care I received. It was a very busy place, I was not neglected at all. I would go there again if need be.

The area where the hospital is located is very poor and run-down, so I was worried. But the staff is excellent and I was very happy with my treatment.

I really appreciated the candid interaction with the nursing staff and the professionalism of the teams as a whole.
I hope if I need further hospitalization I would be able to choose to go to the 5th floor of St Lukes!

What else can I say but THE BEST!!!! Everyone from the admitting person, to my nurses, were wonderfull. They kept telling me good luck, and they were praying for me. If I needed anything, they were right there to help. Like I said THE BEST!!!!

The only thing was the nurses were kind of slow and there was miss communication about who was doing what.

I had an aweful experience here. the care in ICU was bad. I was left alone by the nurse assigned to me and the alarms for my blood pressure were going off. my mom walked in and I was unconcious, my nurse button was on the floor, my blood pressure was 240 over 150, and I was all alone. the nurse who was assigned to me was somewhere else.
this kind of thing was common.
my c-pap machine was dropped on the floor and broken and I was not reimbursed. I developed bed sores and a bruised tail bone because they refused to let me up, when the doctor had ordered it. I have scars from my binder because the nurses would not remove it when the doctor ordered it. I was in ICU a week because my vocal cords were scraped by the anesthesiologist. I WATCHED my surgeon write the order for me to be administered my antidepressants and the nurses insisted there was no order and would not give it to me almost the whole two weeks I was in the hospital.


on the whole the care was substandard and my life was at risk because of it.
