Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple — Local services in Temple

I would not send my worst enemy there. while waiting on simple surgery in 2022 cataracts and a hernia repair I stayed in their RV Park while staying there I developed a lot more problems with my stomach with dizziness then throwing up blood they ran every expensive test in the world on me my RV was parked next to the shower room and bathrooms and I noticed when housekeeping came they only stayed 8 minutes max and sometimes not even that I started checking the bathrooms out really close there was human feces plastered underneath the shower seats shower curtain splattered with it mold in the crevices and pure filth everywhere and this was at the end of covid. I reported it immediately to the manager at that time who continually ignored me as I got sicker and sicker on a average I reported this at least once a week. I talked to others in the park and they were getting sicker and sicker too. and anyone's welcome to go see my videos on YouTube showing everything I'm telling you after about 8 months my teeth started breaking off and if they want to deny this I have pictures taken at the tree in front of the bathrooms with a beautiful set of white teeth that are now gone. after tons of expensive test a nurse practitioner said I think you have H pylori bacterial infection a simple little test it showed yes I did have it. which happens to cause all of these problems and stomach cancer. one last time I begged them to have everything checked out and cleaned once again they refused so I called in the health department and of course I was kicked out immediately. twice in this very same episode they accidentally tried to give me medicines that I was allergic to morphine and pepcid I ended up collapsing and while I was in the hospital with two strokes they hauled off my RV my service dog was put in the pound. now it's moved to July 17th 2024, my hip what's broken and I was taken by ambulance to the hospital that was at 2:30 p.m. I was left for hours and hours and hours without anyone checking on me I was in a bed full of pee because no one would take me to the bathroom when I was begging for help I videotaped showing that nurses were outside my room laughing till 10:30 p.m. I wasn't even operated on for another day I was getting punished over and over and over. they did not get me out of that pee until 1030pm. when I was released on my Walker with no shoes because I had been brought in in an ambulance I was released out to the streets on a broken hip. I got a little inflammation in my hip and had to come back a couple days later the nurse is jab me 10 times without ever bruising me severely and then once again release me at 12:30 a.m. in an Uber destined for a empty parking lot. I was asked to do a survey on my stay and when I was honest with them about everything that happened and I had proof I got a certified letter from Bill Selby inpatient relations claiming that my statement had been unsubstantiated watch the video and I'll also post pictures here about showing my arms legs and all of that and the video is on YouTube under my name. Mr Selby passive aggressively threatened me with a statement saying this is my final warning. I later on found out that Mr Selby was there trouble patient go-to guy.. if a patient was hard to handle he took care of the problems in other words. did they ever charged me for needless test so much that they maxed out my insurance twice Mr Selby's threats were stupid in that he sent it certified letter stating they were unsubstantiated when I have the proof right here. my teeth are broken off into my jaw I still have so many dizzy spells because I was left untreated so long and I still have another year of testing to see if I have stomach cancer because I was left untreated for so long. I can't go out in public because that hospital turned me into a monster. now for anyone that does not understand what I'm saying please go to my YouTube channel you can see from my videos that I had all of my teeth and they were pretty and white look how unhealthy I was while I was there can compare it...

Until recently I have had complete trust and faith in the Baylor Scott and White network and their doctors. In the last 6 months I have had the misfortune to see clearly that they have NO CARE FOR THE PATIENTS OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING! It is all about the bureaucratic red tape. You cannot even ask for a patient advocate because they do not have any. You have to call patient relations and leave a respectful voicemail and patiently wait for them to return your call if and when they get good and ready!!!! For the past 2 years I have struggled to have my condition taken seriously and properly diagnosed. The beginning of this year I changed most of my doctors to more specialized doctors that I drive 1 - 2 hours each way. Slowly in the last 3 or 4 months answers are trickling in thanks to only 3 certain doctors. All the others continued to blow me off and say nothing is wrong with you. 4 ER visits for other serious symptoms and they seemy Oxygen is low so they focus on that and all the wrong reasons why it's low because they will not listen to me and completely ignore the seriousness of the symptoms I actually came in for. I kept asking to be transferred to Temple. "Temple won't accept you just because of your Oxygen." Well finally last week my undiagnosed condition caused a bad enough symptoms that I was transported from my local ER to Temple ER. I was so hopeful, finally I'd have a team of doctors working together and they would finally confirm what my condition is and properly diagnose me. First of all anytime I mentioned my other symptoms while there i was told you're not here for that, you're here for your eye. After the MRIs were completed I continued asking about the issue found on the CT SCAN. I was told there isn't one. On my 3rd day there i noticed I was being irritable. On my 5th day, I was so irritable, aggravated and angry I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I knew something was wrong. I asked my nurse what of my regular meds were they giving me. They had STOPPED giving me my nighttime psych med and marked it PRN and they cut out half of another important anti- depression med. Meds I have been taking for years! I was discharged later that day and that's when I realized I was only getting part of the one med. My discharge orders told me to stop taking the 300mg of that med. I told the nurse only my psychiatrist tells me when to stop my psych meds. Later I noticed the 300mg had been completely removed from my med list! AND THEN on the next day i started looking into the thing on the CT scan. Turns out nobody in Temple noticed or acknowledged that the head MRI was originally ordered for that. They used that MRI along with the orbits MRI to study my eye and vision problems. They couldn't understand how my vision was being affected in both eyes when only my left had a so called issue. Through my own research I have discovered the thing found on the CT SCAN that was completely overlooked or ignored in Temple, CAUSES ALL THE VISION PROBLEMS IM HAVING!!!!! Unfortunately I pay an arm and a leg to keep my BSW Insurance that guess what ya really can't use anywhere else of outstanding quality. But believe me, they will not have another opportunity to jeopardize my mental well-being or ignore the overwhelming multiple symptoms that scream I am not a normal case, i have a complex, not well known condition. I even had to educate the neurologist that told me that I disagree not have thus one condition because shortness of breath is not a symptom. After sending him articles from the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and others he backed tracked said that's interesting yes you do have this but also the endocrinology issue so that needs to be addressed first. Ooohhh the endo issue......IS WHAT IS SCREWING UP...

Honestly I usually don’t have issues with my nurses and are fairly nice even though I know I can’t be a pain in the behind, but this time it’s made me wry for my upcoming labor. For context, I’m a first time mother to that’s probably going to go into labor anytime now. My baby is fairly a non mover and in/out of the L&D emergency room a lot for baby lack of moving. Usually she’s fine, but I still worry and my OB tells to go the L&D ER if baby doesn’t move or loss of liquid. This time I went not sure if my water broke. I waited all day and into the afternoon to get baby to move and baby didn't. So we decided to go in. On top of that I’m about 40min from the hospital, so if something goes wrong we have to go asap. The receptionist is always nice, but the nurse staff this time was cold and not the usual crew I deal with. Granted i understand the urgency when it comes to one’s water breaking. not only was the nurse cold, but also the first doctor on duty. She came off as very condescending and rude as if my presence being there was inconvenient to her. Im used to normal checking, but this time it was rushed, painful and very uncomfortable. Her whole demeanor was just cold and made it seem like I was an inconvenience to her. I give people benefit of the doubt when you work long shifts, but the interaction with doctor was just cold and rushed. To be honest, it just sounded like she didn’t care once she heard I wasn’t in labor. To quote what she prior to my discharge was “we don’t want to see you until your water breaks” then started listing off symptoms when I wasn’t sure it did. The attending doctor was much nicer besides the painful check, but way more pleasant than the other doctor. They just seemed they wanted to kick me out quickly out of the room. I’m glad my OB will be birthing me because if it was the doctor I had today I would be concerned for how my birth would go. I’m aware it can be annoying with how often I go in due to how often my baby doesn’t move, but again todays visit was just uncalled for when I had go on not sure if my water broke.

Update: I went back in recently. And the same staff being on duty. Just a fair warning if you see Pricilla (L&D RN) is working that shift. She won’t assist you with moving or shifting positions, and honestly doesn’t deserve to be in L&D if she just going to have any attitude or lack of bed side manner. It’s already stressful time for first time moms and her attitude doesn’t help the situation. When they did the cervical check again, it felt like the PA on duty wanted you cause pain for the hell out it even when I asked her to be gentle.

Update on delivery: Without a doubt I have no regrets coming here for my delivery. I came in for an induction and the whole team from start to finish was amazing. The nursing team was amazing and listened to my concerns on what I had wanted to do on my birth plan. Even though my birth plan wasn’t what I had planned or hoped for the doctors were kind, patient, and understanding. Even in the after care the nurses were beyond amazing and so helpful with myself and my baby. So if you give delivery here know you’re in...
