Hampton Regional Medical Center — Local services in Varnville

My name is Khorey Smith. My dad,as of this review, is currently a patient there. His name is Richard Smith. He is currently in the ICU department. I want to let you know that the service of your nurses n that department DEFINITELY needs to be ADDRESSED! Ellen, the nurse who cared for him, told my sister flat out “I don’t think he’s gonna make it past the night.” Another nurse, Melanie came into the room during our most recent visit on Tuesday, April 25th and said “so did ya make a decision yet pull the plug?” WHO THE HELL SAYS THAT in that particular time? That’s what me and my brother and sisters were talking about but the visit but for the REGISTERED NURSE, not the DOCTOR, the NURSE says that to family members. I see the good reviews on google get a response, but the bad ones don’t get addressed. Can’t fix problems if you don’t address them. I work for a prominent healthcare network, Lehigh Valley Health Network, where that kind of behavior gets addressed ASAP. I will be posting this on google as well as sending this email to the local news network and hopefully those staff members get reprimanded. I bet that I won’t get a response from anyone because they only respond to...

I wish I could give no stars for the experience I had on 6/29/24 at the emergency room at this hospital. This is the worst Healthcare service I've ever received! First of all I was brought in by ambulance with a very high blood pressure and stroke like symptoms and after being seeing in triage I was told to go sit in the waiting area to register and be called. Thank God my son was there because he had to let them know that wasn't appropriate. There was not a nurse there that could place an IV after being sticked eight times and wasting over seven hours in a place with such careless health care providers(who are suppose to be compassionate people) my sister had me discharged and I was taken to another emergency room who provided me with the care I needed with no problem. I'm so glad to know who Jesus is because if I needed an IV ASAP I would have been in trouble! And for all the nurses there that told me I don't have any veins it's just that you all are inexperience and don't know what you're doing! I was only stick once and there goes the IV at Effingham Emergency Room!...

They botched a simple procedure to put in a feeding tube and then released my Mom on hospice instead of transferring her to another hospital at our request. This caused her a lot of unnecessary pain. They even had the gall to tell Hospice Care that my Mother was ineligible for a feeding tube. We drove her an hour away to a different hospital that performed the procedure successfully and because Hampton did such a terrible job, the surgeon at the new hospital made sure my Mom was released to a nursing home to recover. After only a week of being at the nursing home we were told that she will be able to come home in a couple months as she will be able to walk again, talk like she was able to before, and will be able to eat without the tube. That Hampton wouldn't transfer her to a different hospital and instead chose to release her on hospice, shows how they are not only incompetent, but also unprofessional. I'm glad we trusted our gut and not this hospital. I wish I could have...
