Community Hospital Hospital

The nurses were great! The hospital allowes students so if that bothers you I'd pick one that doesn't.

I did not see the surgeon until the following day. I was a bit blown away that I was sedated before I had the opportunity to know the correct surgeon was working on me and knew what he was doing. After the fact, it was obvious when he showed up in my room the next day. Surgery began at 7:30 according to Dr Spier and took approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes. I was in recovery and then wheeled to my room at about noon. (I was unaware of all this). I woke up in my room at about 4 in the afternoon. My daughter-in-law was appalled that no one came into the room to check up on me in 4 hours. I reacted to the anthesia and so they kept an anti nausea medicine in me in addition to the pain meds which made me sleep all the time. Dr. Spier indicated that I was to get out of bed the next day but there was no one there to remind me of that or to help. The first day there was food brought to my room in regular portions ( I didn't eat any because of the nausea) but all the food remained in there the entire day until the next day when I asked them to take it away. In any case there was no guidance on how much I was suppose to consume. The entire stay the only thing I had aside from the IV was 3 sips of cranberry juice. I got the feeling I was being sedated to keep me quiet so I wouldn't have any needs. Dr Spier asked if I was ready to go home I was on it. The nurse acted as though I was putting her out to prepare me for discharge. Her paperwork was incomplete and kept referring to other paperwork that according to Dr Spier was not to be handed out. She did not prepare me for what to expect when I was at home. She finally said I was ready to go home - yet she neglected to take out my central and when she saw it she acted as thought she had no clue what to do with it. This hospital reminded me of a what a prison hospital must look like. Barren walls, equipment in the hallways and nurses that gave less than adequate care. I would never recommend this hospital to anyone.

The staff was very caring and helpful.

I think that my experience with this hospital was a positive one and would use this hospital again.

I was hospitalized almost 6 weeks out of my first 8 weeks post-op due to gastric bleeding. I found my nurses on the most part, excellent. You will always have some slackers, no matter where you are. The techs were great. They also allowed my sister, an RN to stay with me during my hospital stay. They were very good to her as well. Since I am a nurse as well, I believe I was given excellent care while I was a patient at Community Hospital.

Well if you have collapsing veins in your hands. some nureses at this hospital don't care. They will allow your hands to swell ten times their normal size and say that is normal. You will lay there in pain. You will sweat like a dog, because they put you in a room where the air does not work and the window don't open. At about this time you will be ready to call your doctor, go to pick up the phone and realize it to does not work either. The only thing I can say good about this hospital is the tecs are eccellent and so is the aids. They are a thousand times better then the so called nurses. I will give credit where credit is do though. The last night I was in this hospital these two nurses took ecellent care of me I wished I had had them the whole time I was there, it was the only night I didn't lay in pain. The worked third shift that night.

My mother was able to stay a few nights in the room with me since she doesn't drive at night and we were there from out of town. Great Staff!

The hospital is clean and the staff are really down to earth and caring people.

I felt very cared for. The staff was understanding that my husband stayed with me the first night after surgery. They were very accommodating to all my needs.

This is an all around good hospital, one that I would highly recommend.
