SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital - Midwest — Local services in Midwest City

⚠️IF I COULD LEAVE NO STARS AT ALL, I WOULD. 0/10 DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOU/YOUR LOVED ONES HEALTH & WELL BEING.

Please, let me explain. Dealing with a very painful chronic disease, sickle cell (please look it up) for all my life, you can say I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to my care being in and out the hospital. I know the protocol & what I need, I can tell the nurses exactly where & how to get the best iv started. Like if I could do all this at home with iv pain meds & fluids, I would. I ONLY go to the hospital when the pain is absolutely excruciating, which always leads to a hospital stay & blood transfusion. (Guess some back story)

This was my first time being at St Anthony’s in MWC. I was transferred there because every other place was full unfortunately.

Firstly, the tech who gives you water, will get it out the sink instead of walking 2ft outside the door to get water from the ice machine. (LAZY) My first nurse (fresh out of nursing school, of course) was great. I did leave a great daisy review. Once night shift came, it went downhill from there. I didn’t know who my nurse was after shift change, because she didn’t come in for 2, almost 3 hours. I went that long waiting on pain meds, she comes in and says “Every one wanted pain meds at the same time, I feel that you all planned this”. So I dealt with someone who couldn’t do their job and made excuses for everything all night. Morning comes, great I luck up with my fresh nursing grad. Day goes great, I express my concerns. The nurse working with her makes excuses for the night nurse. SIDE NOTE: if you’re having a bad day as a nurse, don’t take it out on your patients. You don’t get to carry that into work in this field. Sorry not sorry! We go through enough. Just need good bedside mannerism and to be cared for. Anyway. Night nurse comes in, I waited hours for pain meds yet again, but this was the one. I ask for tape because my IV dressing was coming up. Why this lady bring some scotch tape from the nurses desk? LAZY!!! “I looked at her like ma’am, are you serious?” At this point, I’ve been over this stay. I’ve had patient advocate come and talk with me, I’ve spoken with the director of nurses about my concerns. I’m literally here for pain management so I can go home. I know the pain won’t 100% go away, I live with this disease. Shift changes… I’ve waited 3 hours for this nurse to come in, all to tell me I didn’t have pain medication available which I did, but she tells me she isn’t allowed to give me one medication before the other is out of my system… !!!!WHAT??? Seriously? Never heard anything like that before in my life. I said well this is the first time I’m hearing of it. She says “well everyone isn’t trained the same”. I told her that was the issue right there. It didn’t help that one doctor came in and made a complete fool of himself regarding the IV pump. I also was given an antibiotic for at first was an respiratory infection that I had no idea about until after the fact. Then later was told it was just the drs protocol for sickle cell. I had someone from the lab come and start another IV, but this time with the ultrasound due to my veins being so worn and used up, this makes it easier for them to find veins. It hurts 77x worse than a normal IV. It wasn’t hooked up correctly y’all, after all that pain. I start getting my blood transfusion and I’m on Facebook live at this point and blood just starts leaking down my arm. Smh At this point the hospitalist & charge nurse were coming in to calm me down, I told them I’d be leaving after I get my blood. They had that nurse come in and she just hooked me up to the previous IV I had before getting the ultrasound one, so I ask I thought we couldn’t use those cause it was too small? She said no it’s fine to use? WHY IN THE HECK DID I HAVE TO GET A PAINFUL ULTRASOUND IV TO NOT EVEN NEED IT? I LEFT.

THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD AT AN HOSPITAL. I RATHER GO TO OU THEN HERE AND I ABSOLUTELY HATE OU. THIS HOSPITAL NEEDS TO...

so if i could rate this place a 0 i would. I had came here due to my counselor telling me that it would be a good place to do group activities and share within groups of people with mental health issues, and im sure it is a good place for that because while i was there held in isolation because i had covid but showed no symptons im sure they were having a good time with each other because i could hear it all. So I get there and my reason for going was because I felt unsafe and needed to stay somewhere where i couldnt do any wrong to myself but also where i could voice what was going on with myself for those days with professionals that i wasnt getting to talk to on the daily basis of my regular life i was feeling alone and already isolated. They put me in a room with no explanation for hours not asking if i needed anything this one tech was extremely rude to me and had no respect for me not wanting to hear me out for why i wasnt feeling safe or thatjust putting me in a room wouldnt work and was just making it worse. I then was transferred to Midwest Cities Saint anthony being at okc saint anthony at first not until i got to my room that was given to me i was told i had covid then was just left in a room to myself with coloring pages and a book mind you the required days to stay in the hospital is 5-7 days but they didnt tell me that i was told nothing, but that i wasnt allowed to leave my room unless it was to ask for something in need or to make a phone call and even when i needed something i was told to always go back to my room i had needed a nurse to look at a wound i had due to surgery a month ago and was panicking about it and the first thing i was told was "you need to go back to your room I will get medical when you go back to your room". i have never been to a mental hospital before , I didnt know they didnt have a "medic" or medical person there yet i was asking the techs for one specifically saying i needed medical but i was being told to go back to my room and that they would get one 10 mins passed i think i dont know i didnt have a clock in that room i had nothing except for the walls and some coloring sheets and a book for a week, im waiting, then decide to go back out and poke my head out the door and if i poke it out far enough i could see the time my room was right next to the exit the nurses and techs were straight down the hall standing there choosing to not come to me or acknowledge my prescrnce for five minutes until i had stepped out the room completely and stood there and im not one to scream across the hallway asking for something because thats what i wouldve had to do if i didnt go up there and say something because they were so far away yet expecting me to scream for what i needed. A patient literally had to get one of them and tell them i needed something then one turned around and had asked me what i needed once again all the way down the hallway hes raising his voice to ask what i need im panicking crying saying i need medical because first i dont do well in isolation when its forced and i felt like i wasnt being listened to or given any amount of time at all no matter how short n the day to b heard or talked to, so then he goes "sorry? we dont have medical here" and im looking at him and feeling like a fool because some other tech told me that i have to go back to my room until she can get one so then i start crying even more asking for someone and he goes "we have a nurse i can get the nurse?" saying it as if he could care less about what i was needing and he took his sweet time getting the nurse. the nurse had came and looked and just told me i was fine then had walked out not telling me what i should look out for to see if theres anything wrong or right. the whole time nobody even tried to say my name right which felt highly disrespectful because i corrected them multiple times and they had just been calling me whatever at this point theyd give me my food on the floor, theyd never get my trash and would...

Let me start by saying I would not come back to the hospital if I was dying. The night strated off good considering the circumstances. Took my Mom in she was having a hard time breathing. The ran some tests and determined she had pneumonia and of course we already knew she had COPD. They decided to admit her .Everyone in the emergency department was super nice . Spoke with 3 doctors confirming she had pneumonia. My Mother was in the hospital 1 week and one day. I went to see me Mom everyday sometimes twice a day. Everyday I went it was worse and worse ,they meaning the doctors and nurse had her so high on Xanax I couldn't even tell it was my mom. I understand you need to relax to be able to breath and get better but pumping Xanax in my mom every 6 hours and telling me it's justified in her situation is just plan ridiculous. I complained everyday to stop giving them to her. I finally took a day off work to go speak to the doctor that gave the order because all the messages I left for him was either never given or he just didn't care enough to call me back. Anyway the day I finally was able to speak to him ,He assured me that pumping Xanax in her was well justified and helping her . wow really !!!! I told him I did not want them giving them to her ,he told me he would Re evaluate her meds and get everthing worked out. He also informed me there was no way she had pneumonia ,he looked at the xrays and there was nothing wrong other than the COPD. Again Wow really 3 doctors have told me she had pneumonia. The nurses talk about it everyday . He did not Re evaluate anything . He was a liar........ When they released her I specifically told them no Xanax were going home with her . Well here they come with a script for it . I threw it in the trash . My Mom left on Oxygen and a wheelchair because she couldn't walk. She stayed with me a few days but I had to work and was unable to stay home with her. She fell at my house and had to call 911 , to help her up. Home Health was coming to check on her and determined that she needed to be in rehab because she couldn't walk without assistance. She went back to the emergency room this time to a diffrent hospital. They informed her she did in fact have pneumonia but the didn't admit her instead made a suggestion that she goes to a rehab.So here we are this all started on Valentine's day .My Mom is now in a rehab learning to walk on her own again and build her strength back up . Why my mom was normal when she went in other than being sick . She laid up in the bed for 8 days and was walked twice. This review just isn't about the Xanax they pumped in my mom it's the fact they just didn't care!!!! My mom is where she is now because they...
