Patient
I would not take my dog to this hospital, let alone a loved one. I called Memorial Regional Hospital regarding a serious issue and was left on hold for an unacceptable amount of time. I've included screenshots showing exactly how long I waited, because this wasn't a quick delay. When someone is calling about a patient's health, time matters. There was a major issue with the patient while she was in her room. The nurse did not come in to check on her in a timely manner. When she called us around 6:30 this morning she appeared disoriented and confused, was dropping things, and her blood sugar was dropping. It seemed as though she had not been given the medication she was supposed to receive. This lack of attention was alarming and dangerous. Due to it wasn't visiting hours yet I called the nurse station to try to get someone to her room because obviously they were ignoring the call. I was able to get to the nurse station. She put me on hold as she stated she was going to see who her nurse was and you can see how long I was on hold. I for one know it does not take as long to look and see what nurse is on someone's care. On top of that, the room itself did not appear clean, which is the bare minimum expectation for any hospital setting. After reading reviews and comparing experiences, Chippenham Hospital has significantly better feedback, and that will be my choice going forward. I will never return to Memorial Regional Hospital and would not recommend it to others.
