    IV still in arm
    Tara L.

    Not only did the PA Nguyen, Vu diagnose me in 10 seconds of being in the room and not even touch me but the nurse Gail wanted to get me out so fast that she discharged me with an IV still in my arm. I wouldn't trust them with anythings life. Definitely not in it for patient care but, all for the money. Save yourself and go somewhere that cares.

    The Quality, Care, Compassion and Expertise of the ICU and PCU teams are the best bar none. Thank you all from David and Deborah Miller, for all the Ladies and Gentlemen who took great care of me during my stay. I will visit when I'm able to. Thanks for the great send off!

    To all the great Ladies and Gentlemen who took of me. Unbelievable service and will back to visit Thank you

    This is from Brandon Hospital and they told me that the doctor does not exist. I was part of a clinical trial and never got paid.

    My experience at Brandon Hospital was very unpleasant, to say the least. I was scheduled to have foot surgery on February 14th at 1 pm. I was told to arrive at 11 am, the day before, however, I was called the morning of around 9 am and asked if I wanted to come in sooner. They said the doctor was running ahead of schedule so I agreed and headed out the door and when I got there it was close to 10. I told my husband to leave me there since they were going to be taking me in early. Well, they held me in the room for 3 hours before the anesthesiologist came to get me, 1 hour longer than what I was supposed to have waited originally. The doctor had even come in at the 2-hour mark and had said I would be going back very soon but another hour went by. When I first arrived, a woman came into my room and asked if I wanted to participate in a Phase 3 clinical trial study called LANTERN, a Light-Activated Antimicrobial Therapy to Prevent Surgical Site Infections. In the US, the trial was still undergoing FDA approval and Brandon Hospital was part of that trial. It's already been approved for surgeries in places like Canada, Australia, the UK, and the United Arab Emirates. From what I was told, I would be paid for my participation. It was fairly easy to do and I figured since it would prevent an infection, why not? Well guess what? I got a nasty infection at the surgical site. I was told after my surgery the surgery was supposed to have taken place within 2 hours of doing the study and they made me wait for 3. The infection set my healing back for months and I have still yet to be paid. When I called the hospital about it to find out what I should do, nobody knew anything about it. When I called the number the woman gave me paperwork on, they could not locate the doctor who was part of the research team from the hospital. The woman who came in to do the study stopped answering my phone calls and completely ignored my messages. The hospital is probably one of the worst hospitals I've ever been in. Nobody there was pleasant. Nobody there made me feel welcome. Nobody came into the room to see me. They just put me in a room and made me wait for 3 hours for my surgery. Since then I've had to see another doctor about my foot because I've still been in pain. I just had to have another surgery on it and will have to have a third. I refuse to go to the same doctor for various reasons, one of them being she only uses Brandon Hospital and I refuse to go there ever again. I will never recommend them and I will continue to tell everybody about my experience there. Beware if you're having surgery at Brandon Hospital. I'm not sure who gave the order for me to come in early. I don't know if it was the doctor or the staff but somebody screwed up and made me suffer.

My husband and I were literally 2 of the only people there. When he finally decided to come see me he told me that had some debilitating disease that couldn't be cured and couldn't be helped. He also made sure to let me know that he would only prescribe me over the counter medication and a mild muscle relaxer because a lot of people come in to get pain medication, implying that I was a pill junkie and sent me on my way. I had to go somewhere else to get service and everything the doctor told me was a lie. They sent me a bill for 800 dollars even though I was only seen by the physician and diagnosed for 2 minutes. He didn't look at my shoulder, he wouldn't touch me but somehow was able to conclude a diagnosis. We sat there for 2 and a half hours waiting to be seen even though the entire place was empty. He seemed so bothered by having to deal with me. This place is not minority friendly and I urge you if you are anything other than white go somewhere else. You will die in here. I don't remember the doctor's name but I will try to locate it and add it to this review. Best advice drive by this place don't expect to be helped here.

A lot of my…read moreconcerns were over looked, my sister (mother of 4) even told them my son's cord had to be wrapped around his neck they refused and it turned out it was wrapped twice around the neck.. Almost lost my son. Also my epidural was started at 3cm, ran out completely at 7cm (God awful experience) and it took them almost 3 hours to finally get the anesthesiologist back in the room to correct it. My child and I BOTH went into tachycardia which resulted in an emergency c section after 12 hours of on and off tachycardia. They kept telling me they let the anesthesiologist know about my epidural, but when they called again in front of me it was as if they had no clue about me. Over all a 35 hour horrific labor. I had to be the one to bring up a c section. They didn't even consider it. It's like you have to put them in their place to do their job almost... sat on their phones CONSTANTLY. Ignored my alarms going off STEADILY! ( the alarms that the baby's heart rate gives off) for 12 hours they were haywire, I have no clue how my child and I survived. I even told my mom at one point to let my child live and to let me die because I was so confused on what was happening to me or about to happen or why I deserved how they were treating me, my mom (a mother of 3) stood by my side so worried and confused as well. Nurses complained after my c section directly to me that they should be off shift already but because of me they weren't and gave me inexcusable behavior & attitude about it... I also had a friend come here before for her lupus situation & they kept her for weeks without any results but demanded she stayed, she lost her job when finally released with 0 medical results or progress. They will run that bill up just for you to stay longer like it's a hotel. They kept me for 2.5 weeks post-birth and it seemed like they were trying everything they could to not let my baby and I go home. For days with no explanation or reason. They also kept forcing me to breastfeed for the first two days of my child's life and since I was a c section, my milk wasn't coming in, each time I complained about my hungry child they'd force my child on my breasts. I tried everything I could and knew my body wasn't making milk. He was screaming hungry and miserable, finally a new nurse came and gave me formula. I had to cry, demand and refuse to breastfeed multiple times before someone finally helped my son and I. Even had to bring up that it was illegal for them to keep forcing me and not offering other options. Two whole days my baby barely had anything if he did have anything at all. They had the audacity to look at me crazy for not being able to make milk and my child crying... My son also had jaundice very badly (I was a new mom I didn't know what this looked like in a newborn, however they are educated medical professionals & overlooked this for over two weeks..) and they didn't check til right before we were about to be discharged (because they finally noticed no one got to do the jaundice test, again no one doing their due diligence as medical professionals) resulting in another 2 day stay. This was an exhausting and haunting experience. Felt like I had to kiss their butt to be let go or constantly bother them. Again, no explanations to why they wouldn't let us go. It was like the nurses had a lot of ego and lack of compassion... Or like they were paranoid / guilty to let me go. I could also tell the nurses were bad-talking about me I just don't understand why, I feel like anything bad in my experience was due to them entirely. My fiancé and I were doing everything we could as parents. We ended up having to get very strict with them and start bringing up laws that protected me to intimidate them to help correctly or let us go. Then I was out within a day after that (sketchy). This is my fiancés third child & he has never seen hospital staff condemn themselves in such a ruthless way to a new mom. I was seriously dissociated and pressured my entire stay and for the arrival of my child.. I clearly wanted it to be a lot more special than this at least even a little bit. However, food was above average, my surgeon that did my c section did an exceptional job for my scar, placement and healing was amazing thanks to her. I'm having my second child in a couple days and I'm 100% going to Brandon Hospital, I shared my experience with them and they were dumbfounded and I can already tell they are more hands-on & understanding with their moms in labor&delivery. Be very wary of this St Joes and their nurses. I will never get this experience of my first child back.

There was no game playing as far as billing and checking out. The Trauma center appears to be the real deal and on point. The LOCATION at Davis Island cannot be overcome and it an abomination with gridlocked traffic 6 days a week morning & evening. There is a sincere effort to have a security team guarding the hospital and keeping it safe. However, that is only 5 days a week.And on Saturday and Sunday , there's little security team or one tenth of the security , and if there's problems , terrorism or vandalism or gang activity that doesn't happen Monday through Friday , it could happen anytime? I found that disingenuous that the security team wasn't there on the weekends with the same presence. The parking situation , of course , is out of control and the parking decks are managed as well as somebody could possibly try to manage them , but it's still a large can of worms. I have no doubt that the valet parking team of employees means well and tries hard. I personally don't trust anybody to drive the car and park. It because of theft and organized teams of petty criminals. Very difficult for a visitor to come to the hospital. For the first time, enduring the parking garage, the heavy traffic before even getting to the hospital where they then have to check-in by supplying a valid ID after going through security. This is a high stress situation that needs to be explained to the entire security staff and the entire hospital administration. So everybody can continue to work together to make this a good experience considering the hardship. That's upon everyone, the nurses and the doctors are HEROS as they come to work each day. The patient advocates were sincere, polite as helpful as possible and yet it's still an uphill battle. The food served at the hospital was very good and a wide variety and choices for the patients. However there needs to be a specific 15 minutes of grace granted to the PATIENTS so they can eat, breath and relax with their meals uninterrupted.The moment the patients were served , the patients were interrupted constantly without respect shown and the patient ended up eating cold and either melted frozen items or soups and hot meals that would of been good but the experience was turned negative for no reason. The patients NEED the nutrition and positive few minutes and their MEALS should not be interrupted. In closing, there needs to be a extra effort put in for signage , lights and roadway painted arrows on the ground from I -275 to the hospital. Once a person has traveled this numerous times it becomes far easier but for a first timer , it is ab extremely difficult drive to make it to davis island from I-275 , even when trying your hardest. I am sure hundreds of millions of dollars have been poured into the hospital and the effort to make this top notch , but the location is so abysmal it makes it almost impossible to overcome. To all the nurses and doctors, your Patron Saints for being able to endure this on a daily basis. I'd love to see some special effort made by the city & county and State for the doctors & nurses & key staff to have some special Transportation arranged, whether it's by Boat or by special Limousine service every day &seven days a week. Kid Glove transportation service should include every special amenity possible showing appreciation and respect to them. We appreciated the entire staff and team of medical professionals ...in the most stressful time in our lives, but I was unprepared for having to show ID and it made my initial visitation traumatic with having to go back to the parking garage to get an ID with a disability. Yes, I was too proud to take the golf carts and that is on me. Great Hospital, horrible location and sewer system is probably the breaking point whenever there is flooding. Be safe, be sure to take your security seriously and it will help keep your experie nice positive. This hospital handles every conceivable catastrophe and should be given every benefit of the doubt and I tried to keep that in mind with my review. Thanks
