Hospital of Saint Raphael (COE) Hospital


The staff was not helpful. I was left sitting during my first night after surgery alone on the side of the bed without a call button within reach. My roommate (whom I live with) stayed with me most of the time to assist me with walking, using the bathroom, bathing, etc. The facility was filthy. The first room I was put in had trash (dressings) from the previous patient on the floor and no one cleaned it up. After two days I was moved to another room due to a roof leak and it wasnt until Monday morning that you saw anyone come in to clean. The bathroom was disgusting and the staff put the "hats" used to measure your urine on the ground, and after open surgery it is impossible to bend to reach the ground. My medication was stopped after the first day, except for the Morphine, which made me nauseaus. It took 12 hours to get anyone to contact the Dr for a different perscription. This was 24 hours post op. As far as the steps in the dietary process the staff was very uninformed and due to misinformation that I was given I ended up being nauseated due to trying to get too much in during a given time frame.
