Cabell Huntington Hospital (COE) Hospital


The only problems I had was the first night. The nurse on duty that evening was terrible. My sheets got soaked with blood from my drainage tube and she wouldn't take the time to change my sheets. My sister had to take care of me the first night. I was even left without sheets on my bed for several hours until my sister finally hunted some down and made my bed. After that night though the other nurses were excellent.

My nurses gave me excellent care, especially one named Cheri and a guy named Wayne. They were supposed to have bariatric suites,but they weren't finished. However, they gave me a private room and my husband was allowed to stay with me. It was a little noisy because of construction, but overall I had a good experience.

This is the best hospital that I have ever been in. My calls were answered quickly and the day shift staff was great. I have never been in a hospital where they really do things at the time that it is to be done. The nurse that checked me in was wonderful. I was treated like a human being should be treated. I have nothing bad to say about the hospital. I was taken very good care of.

MY ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THAT WHEN I ARRIVED FOR SURGERY, I WAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT BY THE WARD CLERK AND THE END RESULT WAS THAT MY SURGERY WAS DELAYED BECAUSE THE STAFF DID NOT KNOW I WAS THERE. THIS CREATED A LOT OF STRESS AND ANXIETY ON MY PART. INSTEAD OF A 9:30AM SURGERY, I DID NOT GET ON THE O.R. TABLE UNTIL ABOUT 5PM. HAVING THAT MUCH TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT, I JUST ABOUT CHICKENED OUT. I KNEW THAT I HAD CAME TO FAR TO BACK OUT AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
