| Comments: |
The staff was fine for a hospital. My problems laid in the fact that I had a delusional roomate who screamed at the top of her lungs morning, noon, and night and only screamed more once they restrained her. While she was restrained she defecated in her bed. I requested to be moved and was denied. The nursed said "you'll be going home tomorrow". This was at 1:30am. I laid in my bed listening to this woman scream until my release at 9:45am. Though I was in horrendous pain and did not feel it was time to leave the hospital, I left just to have some peace and quiet. |

My only complaint would be not knowing how to eat when I left. I was given a sheet saying what I could have but no examples of amounts or menus. |
