Methodist Hospital ER Earning Bad Grades

Gowanus Lounge just posted a couple of not-so-nice stories from Park Slope Parents about recent visits to the Methodist Hospital ER. This would come as no surprise to Carmen who posted about her trip to the ER in April:

…I was kind of mortified that the PA was pressuring me into treatment when the plastic surgeon told me I didn’t need them. He was very brief when speaking to me and didn’t look me in the eye once. He basically threw my paperwork at me and walked out the door, at which point I asusmed I was done and left.

While in discharge, I heard the woman next to me complaining that a nurse had said “no wonder you’re on so many pills” when she complained about the tightness of the ID bracelet. Is this place ALWAYS like this? I’m really considering writing a letter to the hospital about my experience (excellent with the plastic surgeon, but terrible with everyone else,) …

Have any experiences, good, bad, or ugly to share? Check them in here: Park Slope Message Board – Methodist hospital ER- not nice! :: Brooklynian.com

I’ve been there twice in the past month and everyone was not only extremely competent but also really, really nice. My only complaint was they kept the Emergency Room and patient rooms very, very cold.

I had an emergency C-section at Methodist. I could write a BOOK on what an appalling experience it was. The nurses made fun of me…They told me not to flush the toilet, that the stool would be analyzed….Total fabrication! The nurses were busy with their card games, and were bothered to be interrupted by patients needing medication or attention. I had to beg for a blanket. They yelled at ME for getting blood on the sheets. If I didn’t die from the C-section, I could very well have died from the after-operation treatment I got!
