Re: Best way to complain about a Hospital?

Being rude is not illegal and nothing the licensing board will get involved with.

Complain to the hospital administrator and/or whatever corporate entity/church/whatever owns the hospital and if not satisfied, choose a different hospital.

No, but complete misdiagnoisis and sending a 90 year old person home with a big infection might be bordeline abuse. They sent home when he had a big infection, and 2 days later he had a flare up, and is right back in there. This hospital sucks(we have to go here because of insurance reasons). The rudeness just adds to their idiocracy.

i tend to forget things when Im typing. They said he had cancer, and two other doctors said " why would they say that. He has no signs of cancer". Complete crap.

More like your insurance sucks, the hospital is following the policy of the Medicaid/Medicare, which is looking to cut costs where ever possible

Offer to pay cash and you can have any room, doctor or procedure you want and stay for as long as you want

It sounds like to me that the nurses and doctors are overworked, rushed, and do not have enough time to do everything or have personal lives.

As far as the mis-diagnosis, they probably did nothing wrong. Since they are overworked and short staffed they made the best diagnosis they could out of the information they had.
The only way you can prove malpractice is if they broke protocol in their diagnosis or they can't explain to a judge how they made their diagnosis.
Diagnosing problems with the body is basically the same as diagnosing the problems with anything. You conduct tests/inspections and gather info and then make an assessment. Also, they can be limited by your insurance about what tests they can conduct.

If they are overworked and understaffed your complaining will not do anything as they already know about the problems. Your best shot is to also complain with your insurance company and keep writing letters and making phone calls to get them to approve another hospital.

Unless they are nurse practitioners, nurses do not make diagnosis. Your complaint about the miss diagnosis is only with the attending physicians.

Other posts have alluded to the fact that floor nurses are extremely busy, i.e. covering about 2 times the number of patients as was normal 10 years, or so ago. How do I know this, I am married to a retired RN (staff nurse).

Yeah, because everyone can afford to pay cash, right? Especially people that are on Medicaid/Medicair just for gits and shiggles...

border line abuse? LMAO! yah tell that to the state. You want to complain to the actual hopsital. They have departments that handle that and will take the compliant.

It is by far from abuse. They just didn't 1- detect the infection or 2-tell you about it. but no way is it abuse.
