you most HORRIBLE hospital Experience??

Question

what's the worst HOSPITAL experience you've ever had?

any?

Answer 1

I was in an auotomobile accident and brought to the hospital by ambulance. Alot of it was a blur , i remembered my wife and daughters were at the hospital, I remembered looking at my girls and and the expressions on their faces , I remember them looking so scared . I didnt realize at the time that i had facial injuries, I must have looked ptretty bad. You see the accident was my own fault and I was aware of that! So i always thought of it as something bad in their life that i put them through , having to be scared and seeing me like that.

Answer 2

Go to a different hospital this time for one thing (if you can)! There is a shortage of nursing staff so you cannot expect for one to come the minute you press the button but you should have one see you in a reasonable amount of time (say 10 minutes). I know they are busy and overworked but it is no excuse to be rude to you. Hopefully this time you will not have that same experience. Also, you have had a baby before, so likely you will not be needing their assistance as much this time anyway. Sounds to me like the last time really was an awful experience and perhaps they took advantage of you because you were so young and felt they could get away with it.

Answer 3

When I was rushed into hospital due to kidney failure. What a terrible experience. I was placed on a stretcher in the hallway of the emergency ward and left there.
By the way, the kidneys are working again...luckily for me.
There was some damage though.

Answer 4

I remember when I was 5 years old, I sneaked out of my room. It was like at 11pm. I was really scared of doctors so I wanted to run away from the hospital, and I didn't find the exit door. Later on I tried to go back to my room, but I had no idea where that was. So, I was lost. I cried, because I was totally freaked out. I was there in one spot for like an hour. Apperantly no one wanted to help me or anything...so later on I fell asleep there and this one young women woke me up and took me to my room. Yeah, that would be it...pretty stupid though.

Answer 5

I watched my mother die in a hospital very peacefully I guess. Still horrible though.
A year and 3 months later....
My Father had a stroke after an angioplasty procedure. He told the nurses that he had pain but they couldn't get a doctor to answer their pages. He died that night.
My sis is a nurse (not at that hospital) She requested to see the Nurses notes from the night that Daddy died but they were mysteriously missing..
We didn't Sue....We just wanted to grieve our parents without the legal mess. It really makes me mad though, there was no reason for him to die, he was terribly miserable without my Mom though. They had been together for 64 years.

Answer 6

#1. Walking into a room, and seeing my recently deceased grandfather... knowing I'd left him just an hour prior for the evening, and then realizing how weak the staff was, during his OBVIOUS crisis -- because the place was understaffed for the Labor Day weekend.

P.S. - Avoid needing a hospital on summer holiday weekends.

#2. Visiting his wife, not one month after that was taken to the same hospital's ER with a hip injury... and watching her small, tiny self react as an overdose of pain medication was delivered, and having my own family try to SLOW me down (thinking I was overreacting to how she was passed out, etc.) -- until one Attending saw what I did, and they pulled the curtains around her to save her life, and did with an injection to offput the afffect of the original OVERDOSE.

P.S. -- Be there, lesson learned. Oversee everything, and don't be shy or reticent, if something doesn't SEEM right. Mistakes are made, everyday and in every way.

It's easier said than done, to react that 'you would sue'... especially when the loved ones don't want to know about that, as they try to heal on their own.

Answer 7

My dad was in for day surgery that never happened. When we were leaving my mother collapsed in the parking lot. They call it Sudden Death Syndrome. The nurse pushing daddy started CPR and I ran for help. She is fine now and has a defribulator. Later that night the doctors told me if we had been out of the lot she never would have made it. My horror was internal. There was my mom on the ground not breathing and I had not told her yet that I was pregnant.

Answer 8

I was about seven years old and I broke my arm on a family vacation. My Mom & Dad took me to the Hospital (Georgia), they gave me a shot, took X-rays, put me in a wheelchair and said they were taking me on a tour of the Hospital. I woke up the next morning in traction for my arm IN A CAGE! They thought I might roll out or something. I had to stay in that hospital for 3 weeks in traction (only 2 days in the cage) while my family stayed in the motel and tried to continue with their vacation. Miserable! (I'm 43 now)

Answer 9

When I had my first child. First of all I had a trainee midwife, who kept telling me I shouldn't have an epidural, even though I had already decided months before. She made me feel bad about having one.

After I had given birth I had 2nd degree tears and massive blood loss, I had a blackout when I stood up, but they just put me in a bed with my son and my made my mother who was with me leave. Whilst my son was screaming and I could hardly move. I nearly dropped him because I was so tired.

The sheets were covered in blood, and the bathroom was so dirty, I and the other women had to wash in other people's blood. The nurses didn't pay any attention to us, the ward was filthy, two of the other women on my ward had complications, one had an infection and no one seemed to notice any of us at all. No doctor of nurse came to see me after birth, It was awful, I couldn't wait leave.

Answer 10

hmmm.. well a couple years ago. I was in the hospital for a week for my stomach. It was hurting SO BAD.. and it wasn't my appendix or anything like that. And that whole week was the worst!
I was misrable! And then they had to give me a catscan, and they made me drink this INK crap... NASTY!!! I threw it up TWICE! And they kept on making me drink it!
yuck.. and hospitals smell bad, the beds are hard, and you can never sleep!
horrible.
AND.. I have pretty small and hidden veins, and I absoluetly HATE needles.. I avoid them at all costs. And they kept on poking me with them.. and I wanted to punch my nurse in the face!! She couldn't get my I.V. in me.. and it hurt SO BAD!
