My daughter went to the emergency room because of her blood pressure and pain on the left side of her body. They checked her blood pressure once and it was 230/130. They put her back in the waiting room where she waited over an hour before I requested someone check her blood pressure again. She was finally seen but they never checked her blood pressure. Instead they told her to go see her regular doctor. They gave her a shot for her pain and sent her on her way.
This hospital is a disgrace.
This place is terrible!!! I bought my brother here a little after 5pm due to a sickness and he is sitting in the lobby with an IV in his right arm and it's after 9pm! Omg... it's not even packed in here. I should've drove to Columbia... I'm pretty sure that they're charging him for every minute that he 'hasn't" been seen by a doctor... smh...
I was a patient at Palmetto Health Tuomey from Sunday July 16 until Tuesday afternoon July 18. Words cannot express how much I appreciate everything that was done for me while I was there.I went in at ER because of a heart issue and efficiency and expert care is what I would and do call the care given me.I was admitted to third floor. Not sure if it is North or South but room 319.All of the nurses, techs, student nurses, and anyone else assigned to me were just absolutely fabulous, or remarkable, or just darn right precious. Words cannot express, I repeat as I said early. Food service and food itself was acceptable. I say it like that because I was on a diabetic diet and the food is not going to be all salty and sweet.It was healthy and nutritious. Thank you for opportunity to voice my gratitude. They were all doing there job, but it never hurts to hear praise for doing a good job. Submitted wholeheartedly, Patsy Scott.
My 73 year old mother was admitted to Tuomey for anemia, dehydration and lesions on her liver. First , a majority of the nurses are very unprofessional. All I heard when I was there was whining about how hectic their day was and how they can’t wait to go home. One nurse complained to my mother about the other patients she had. I mean, who does that? I witnessed another patient fall down and you could hear all of the nurses at the nurses station talking about it and laughing. The bathroom in my mothers room smelled like urine and the paint on the wall was coming off. One morning my mother was served a tray of food for breakfast, she opened her carton of milk and proceeded to pour some in her coffee only to have it coming out in chunks. The damn milk was curdled. My mother told the nurse about it and she didn’t really seem to care. Oh, I forgot to mention the moldy bread on the sandwich that was served to my mother for lunch one day. How is this acceptable? The two “specialists” as they called themselves in the radiology department are a joke. They were cursing, laughing and whispering to each other and one was messing around on her cell phone. I could go on and on about this horrible place, like the reception lady in the ER who stuck my mother in a hallway because she said she was going to be in the way with her wheelchair. She then told my mother that they didn’t have a bed for her and she could go home and they would call her when one became available. First of all, my mother was transported there by ambulance from her doctors office. So isn’t it obvious that her doctor didn’t want her going home? This place is scary and one should never stay there alone if you have to be admitted. It hasn’t gotten any better since Palmetto Health took it over either. They need to hire quality people who take pride in their job, are respectful and have compassion for their patients. I will give credit to the transporters. Every single one of them were respectful, caring and helpful. Also, there is one tech who was very polite, showed concern and was just an overall pleasant person. Her name is Jennifer. This hospital needs more people like her.
My first experience at Tuomey this morning for same day surgery. An absolutely impressive bunch of folk. I could not not believe how comforting and professional they were. I felt at ease from the time I signed in until the procedure was over. I only wish I could remember specific names but not necessary when all had the same pleasant attitude. I was one scared puppy facing surgery. Dr Crabbe also had the same pleasant and comforting ease about him. I just want to extend a heart felt thanks to them all. Patient care appears to be a goal and it was accompished with me. Much love to them all and keep up the great work.
