I wont name it, but I took a friend to the e.r. Sunday morning for back problems.This hospital is located 15-20 mins west of downtown here in Douglas county.
Waiting room was empty other than 2 A.A. women with flu like symptoms.
An hour later after my friend had been put in a room, I headed out to screw with the smoke nazis. In the waiting room was a third A.A. lady puking buckets all over the floor leaving a trail all the way out to her car.
She was placed in the room next to my friend. I clearly overheard the doc tell her she had fever and pneumonia.
It took two times me seeing the cna not deglove and wash coming from next door into my friends room unless I told her to before I went to the r.n.
The r.n.’s response led me to conclude that simple communicable disease protocol is not a priority at this hospital.
I used to service their floor cleaning equipment, along with other metro hospitals. Basic cleanliness isnt a priority here either.
Now this hospital is prolly the worst of the wellstar chain. Ymmv. But if basic communicable disease protocol hasnt been a focus here by the ptb, then it hasnt been anywhere other than places like Grady and Emory.
That’s totally unacceptable and I pray you and your friend don’t get sick
Yikes!
And I hope your friend gets some relief.
