  • This hospital is a joke. The ER is fantastic but if you are unfortunate to be admitted you are in big trouble. My husband was taken to this hospital on Thursday afternoon as he fell and thought he may have broken his hip. He went to just have an x-ray. I spoke with two nurses that night, the first one told me the x-ray had been taken and they were waiting results. The second nurse told me he didn't have a fracture and that he was in pain because his hip replacement that he had had at that hospital over a year ago hadn't healed. They were going to keep him overnight as he was dehydrated and would be discharging him tomorrow, Friday afternoon. I called him the next morning and he told me the doctor said he had a hairline crack in his pelvis and they were waiting for ortho to come. I continued to call him during the day and received the same story. They did an ultrasound of his kidneys as his kidney functions were elevated. I explained to his nurse that his kidney functions have been elevated since 2006 after his AAA and he is been seen by a nephrologist at the VA. He has also been to Honor Health a few times in the past year and now all of a sudden they are concerned about his kidney function. This was just another reason to rack up his bill which they are good about doing. His nurse even confirmed that they were waiting for ortho to evaluate the x-ray and put their recommendations. My husband is a VA patient but the paramedics refuse to take him to the VA. At 4:30pm, I called the VA and left a message for his primary care physician regarding what was going on and they gave me their fax number so the hospital could fax over his records for continuing of care. I told the gentlemen at the VA that this would never happen as it has never happened before when we have requested his records sent. I called my husband again and told him to tell the nurse to get his discharge papers ready as I was transferring him to the Va. He called me back and said the nurse told him he would be discharged in the morning, Saturday. I told him that was unacceptable. I called the hospital back and asked to speak with the charge nurse on the ortho floor. I was put through to Jackie who said she was the charge nurse. I explained the situation to her and said I had spoken to the VA and I was taking him there. I asked her to please give him a copy of his x-ray and also a copy of his lab work. She told me ok. This was at 5:30pm. About 5 minutes later, Jackie called me back and said ortho had put a note in my husband's chart in the morning. They reviewed the x-ray and said there was a hair line pelvic fracture that would heal with weight bearing exercises through PT. No surgery advised. Now why did he wait all day and when would someone have told him that? His nurse had never bothered to look at his chart to see this notation. I asked Jackie again to please get a copy of the x-ray and also his lab work and to have him discharged that I was taking him to the VA. She agreed. I called my husband back and told him and a new nurse got on the phone and said that she could not send any records with him if his was discharging himself. I told her he was transferring to the VA and if they didn't send any records they were in violation of the HIPPA law for continuing of care. She received a phone call from the charge nurse, called the hospitalist doctor and got his discharge papers ready. He will be having the VA look at this x-ray. In 2006, he went there to have a hip x-ray after a fall and they told him he didn't have a fracture and he walked and exercised it for over a month until PT at the VA told him his pain was lasting too long and ordered another x-ray. Ortho from the VA called us that afternoon and told me to put him in a wheelchair and he wasn't to walk. He had a fracture and because he had walked on it and exercised, he had done more damage. I went to the hospital and got his x-rays and took them to the VA. Dr. Swartz took one look at them and put a big circle around the fracture. But the radiologist at JCL didn't see it. So now they want him to believe he has a pelvic fracture that no one bothered to tell him about an let him lay in bed all day. Wrong, we will be getting another opinion. And as far as him discharging himself, He was transferred to the VA for a second opinion.
