Texas Medical Center — Attraction in Houston

15 months after giving birth and I’m just now mentally where I can speak about my experience here. You hear all the time about how this is the “best” hospital and how you will receive “exceptional” care and I will be the first to say that it just was not my experience. I can’t speak for all departments but the OB/Postpartum Dept was horrible. I had 2-3 nurses at the most who went above and beyond, and I wish I knew their names but may God BLESS THEM! I felt as if I had no control over my birthing experience. They pushed for a c-section without “in my opinion” Exhausting all options! It was the worst ever and I still grieve the experience I wish I’d had for my firstborn. most of the nurses were all young and completely incompetent of proper patient care. I had one to deny me narcotic pain meds and offered me TYLENOL, after being 2 days post op cesarean.They sent me home with something stronger than Tylenol so I still do not understand the issue! It was time for my next dose , so why are you withholding it from ME?! I had to beg for a breastfeeding Consultation and even when she came she was not helpful at all. My fiancé and I had to figure out how most of the equipment worked. I never seen the licensed Physician, it was always the RESIDENTS! As a nurse I feel like it’s okay for residents to round but for me to never see the Dr. is insane! Once discharged we basically seen ourselves out. Transportation came and we made the best of that as we could. Even the transporter said that some nurses will come down to ensure a smooth transition. That just shows how much they cared for me. I’m not a difficult patient but I will stand up for what’s right and advocate for myself. I will not allow you to handle me any kind of way. Words will not suffice the traumatic experience that my fiancé and I endured while being here. The only thing that I am thankful for is that my baby arrived safely! I’m sure the countless prayers that I made while there is the reason for that . I think about this EveryDAY. Hopefully now that I’ve vented my frustration , this is the first step...

This is the worst.. I mean the absolutely WORST hospital I have EVER been in. My husband was brought here by ambulance because of severe stomach pains. They sent him home after 8 hours and told him he's fine and follow up with his PCP in a few days if he doesn't get better. Not to mention the nurse he had was rude as hell to me. They gave him something he's allergic to and lied about it, but the hives and weps all over his body said differently. Well, after being home for only a few hours he was still in so much pain I took him to a different ER and he was rushed to St. Elizabeth's in Beaumont for an emergency surgery!! He had stomach perforation which is basically a hole in his stomach. But by it being so long after it first happened he got infection and ended up sent to St. Lukes in Houston for additional surgeries! And 2 days shy of a month and 3 surgeries later and not able to eat actual food he was released from the hospital! They had to end up removing a pretty good portion of his stomach because of the Medical Center NOT doing their job and sent him home because the tests they ran on HIS HEART was all good! That's right. He came in with severe stomach pains and they check his heart. And when I told the nurse they need to check his stomach because that's what is hurting she told me that she knows how to do her job and they ran the tests they need. And then told me to try to keep my husband quiet because he's hollering too loud and there's no way he is in that much pain!! Well, yeah he was because his stomach had a hole in it!! And everything was leaking out into...
