    In the spring of 2015 I had my first child in this hospital. I started having contractions a week…read morebefore my due date. I had contractions for almost 12 hours, progressively getting more & more painful, but was told I could not have any pain medication until it was approved by my doctor. I can understand this, however I believe there should be some way a doctor in the hospital can overrule this, as no one should have to suffer through pain for 12 hours waiting on their doctor, as mine was apparently on vacation. As the hours passed, I start having complications & was taken into surgery for an emergency c-section. There was infection in the amniotic fluid so my son had to stay on a week long antibiotic in the hospital's NICU. I cannot thank all the nurses in the NICU who took such amazing care of my son while I healed, & helped me learn to take care of him, as I had never really had any experience with babies before. The only real problem I had was with a young nurse in the NICU. I was trying to breastfeed my son, but as I had went into labor a week before my due date, I had not started lactating & was still having trouble with my body producing any breast milk at all. This nurse told me I had to pump constantly & if I really wanted to breastfeed him I had to stick to it. Her tone and the way she said things made me feel as if she were implying I did not really want to & that it was my fault I could not produce breast milk. As a new mother with my child taken away from me into the NICU, I took this to heart and was devastated by it. My boyfriend spoke to another nurse about the situation and the girl I had the incident with did come and apologize to me. I just feel like these nurses should be trained in any situation and how to talk to people during these times as to not upset someone having a hard time. I was in tears. The only other problem I had was with a male nurse who came in one morning to draw blood. This was near the end of my stay so I had been poked with so many needles by this point. The arm he was attempting to draw blood from was already incredibly bruised up & sore. I proceeded to tell him this before he inserted the needle assuming he would stop & choose a different spot to draw blood from. I supposed I should not have assumed & been more straightforward since he continued to try drawing blood from the same spot. What a surprise, he could not get anything & had to switch to another spot anyway. Maybe not so much of a problem with the hospital, but just this one nurse, as all the others I had were very quick & so good at their job that I barely felt any pain from the needles. All in all, my stay was not perfect. I just had a baby, it's not like I was expecting a comforting retreat, so I was not expecting perfect or anything of the sort. However, again, I cannot thank the amazing ladies in the NICU who took care of my son when I could not. They also gave me so much information on how to take care of him & were there for any questions or concerns I had. This hospital's NICU is an amazing asset & really cares about their patients. They hold yearly reunions for NICU babies as well, which is amazing.

    My step dad came in at around 12 via ambulance due to what he thought was heart pains and it's been…read morebad for a while he asked for his nurse and all she told him was hold on now what if something truly bad was happening and she wasn't coming to help how would that make you feel and not only that the doctor found nothing no problems at all and it's now 7 and all they did was waste his and our time to tell us there is nothing wrong with him I'm truly upset I mean they act like they are getting paid minimum wage as if they don't care you went through school to help people not blow them off so if you have to go to a hospital your better off prolly going to Louisville at this point bc this place has been nothing but a joke and just plum ridiculous
