Definitely NOT a hospital that I would ever recommend!…read more Let's go back to Christmas Eve, in 2009. It's just another day in Tifton for my dad and his family (sister, brother in law, niece, nephew, niece in law, and great nephew). He drove to GA from SC to visit family for Christmas. Things went downhill very quickly from there.. Christmas Eve has changed all of a sudden. My dad said to my aunt "I don't feel great, I think I'm gonna have a stroke or heart attack". Mind you, he was no stranger to heart issues. My dad has endured multiple surgeries - one being a 9.5 hour quadruple bypass heart surgery. That is no joke. That surgery gave him 13 more years of life. So my aunt got my dad into her car and drove to TRMC on 18th Street. They got in and from there, he was taken care of. Apparently, the medical care team who was working with my dad knows NOTHING about folks who have cardiac issues. Especially those who have endured multiple strokes, tests, had a heart attack while on a treadmill, failed stents, and surgeries! They ran tests, which came back with results that were not accurate. He was deemed "healthy" and the hospital chose to discharge my dad. BIG MISTAKE! While family asked for more testing and that my dad stay overnight for observation - both requests were DENIED. Yes, you heard me correctly - they denied a man who clearly was sick the right to medical attention. They handed my dad and aunt the discharge papers and they left TRMC. My aunt helped my dad back into her vehicle. They made their way back to another part of Tifton. That's when things went from BAD to WORSE My aunt made it back to her home with my dad in the front passenger seat. He was talking about how much he misses my brother and I (who live in CT) took two breaths of air, and keeled over onto my aunt's shoulder. Right after that, he was gone. My dad died at the hands of a NEGLIGENT healthcare system, one that FAILED a man who has 2 adopted children - a daughter and son! Lots of red flags, and the doctors/nurses chose to CONTINUALLY ignore a man who was dying! I thought hospitals were a place to seek medical attention for emergencies and all? Well, TRMC did the COMPLETE OPPOSITE! My dad is in heaven, he passed away suddenly at the age of 66 - which I say is YOUNG. I miss my dad more n more with each passing day! I love him and wish he was physically here - as I have so many amazing things to share. But nope, I can't get a hold of him. Heaven has no phones. Tift Regional Medical Center, my family is heartbroken. A father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, great uncle, cousin, nephew, great nephew, friend, and all-around great man DIED SUDDENLY because you claim he was "very healthy". Before I forget, I give ZERO stars to Kayla, who works in the medical records department, as she is incredibly RUDE and lacks RESPECT, EMPATHY, and PROFESSIONALISM!! She LAUGHED at me when I called and politely asked for my dad's death records. Kayla does NOT act the way that a southern woman should and that's beyond appalling! Nobody should bee have to endure what my family did. Death is no joke. It is something that I truly STRUGGLE with EVERYDAY, because my dad is no longer physically here! ***** TODAY IS MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 82 *****

When I got there I was stuck in the waiting room for 6 hours. I was terrified and I was in a lot of pain. When I got to the back they treated me like crap I sat there and pain for hours. A urinated on myself because I was in so much pain and still got no attention. Once I was in the room they told me that I had HIV. And that I had hepatitis a and that was what was making my liver fail. They told me I had HIV in front of everyone. It was terrifying and mortifying. I was treated and when it was time to leave after 4 days I was told I wasn't allowed to leave unless I made an appointment with the local HIV clinic which I did. 3 months went by and the whole time I questioned the fact that I had HIV I felt I didn't have it. When I went to the HIV clinic I told them my concern so they retested me and I came up negative. I later found out that the hospital had done a second test that would come out negative but they never told me about it. I called and I complained and I let them know what happen and asked why did they not tell me? I sat for 3 months thinking I had HIV having to tell the people which was so hard and so embarrassing. All I got was an apology which I had to seek out myself. They said since I didn't have any physical repercussions they owed me nothing but the apology. This happened years ago and it still affects me to this day. Now I have a hard time trusting hospitals and healthcare professionals. And the terrifying mortifying horrible experience lives inside my mind forever. And all I got was an, we're sorry.

I rarely feel compelled to publicly criticize a medical professional. I understand that emergency…read moremedicine is demanding, stressful, and often thankless work, and I have tremendous respect for the education, discipline, and responsibility required to practice medicine. However, my family's experience with Dr. Arjun Arya during my mother's emergency room care was troubling enough that I believe it deserves to be addressed. A medical degree commands respect for the work required to earn it. It does not place a physician above the patients and families he is entrusted to care for. Throughout our interaction, Dr. Arya's demeanor toward my mother and me was, in my opinion, unnecessarily dismissive, condescending, argumentative, and egotistical. Reasonable questions were repeatedly met as though they were challenges to his knowledge or authority rather than what they actually were: a family attempting to understand and advocate for someone they love. There is an enormous difference between confidently explaining a medical decision and becoming argumentative when someone asks you to explain it. Perhaps equally concerning was the apparent assumption that because we entered the emergency room as a patient and family member, we must therefore have little or no understanding of medicine. Dr. Arya, you simply do not know who is sitting across from you. A person does not surrender his or her education, intelligence, professional experience, or credentials upon becoming a patient. Nor should a physician assume that a family member asking questions has no medical background simply because that person is standing beside the hospital bed rather than wearing a white coat. The person in front of you may be a nurse, physician, pharmacist, chiropractor, paramedic, therapist, researcher, or another healthcare professional. They may have spent decades working within the medical field. They may even possess a medical degree themselves. You simply do not know. Speaking to people as though they could not possibly comprehend the medicine being discussed is not education--it is condescension. That attitude became particularly apparent when Dr. Arya made remarks to the effect that a chiropractor is not a "real" medical professional. There are legitimate distinctions between a Doctor of Chiropractic and an M.D. or D.O., including differences in training, licensing, and scope of practice. Those distinctions can be explained professionally without belittling another licensed healthcare profession. More importantly, disparaging another profession contributed nothing to my mother's emergency medical care. It only reinforced the impression that credentials or opinions different from his own were somehow unworthy of respect. I was also deeply troubled by statements regarding certain aspects of my mother's care that, based upon the information available to us, did not appear to accurately reflect what had occurred. When someone's health is at stake, patients should be able to expect honest, accurate, and transparent communication from the physician responsible for their care. A family asking questions is not an inconvenience. A patient requesting clarification is not insubordination. And someone possessing enough knowledge to question what they are being told is not a threat to a physician's authority. Bedside manner is not about charm or personality. It is about professionalism--the ability to communicate difficult information respectfully, answer reasonable questions without hostility, listen when a patient expresses concern, and remember that the person lying in that hospital bed is a human being who deserves dignity. My mother deserved that dignity. She deserved clear communication. She deserved honesty. She deserved to have her concerns taken seriously. And she deserved a physician capable of answering questions without allowing the interaction to deteriorate into what felt, at times, more like an argument over who was the most knowledgeable person in the room. There is tremendous value in medical knowledge, but knowledge and humility are not mutually exclusive. A degree may establish someone's qualifications to practice medicine. Character, integrity, humility, compassion, and the way a physician treats people when he holds a position of authority reveal what kind of physician he chooses to be. And one final thought, Dr. Arya: not everyone you encounter is beneath you, and not everyone asking you a question is uninformed. Sometimes the person questioning you understands considerably more than you have assumed. We may do things a little differently here in the South, but treating people with basic dignity and respect should not be a regional custom. If contempt for patients, their families, and other healthcare professionals is the preferred approach, perhaps Chicago was the better fit after all.
