Two days ago I went in for extreme abdominal pain, they refused to give me ANY pain medication while I was sobbing in the hospital bed after laying there for four hours in this agonizing pain till they took a pregnancy test despite me stating I've never even had sex. They only ever came in when my mother (who had driven me to the hospital should it be any sort of medical operation ) pressed the nurse button on the TV remote. They injected me with 5 different kinds of fluids leading up to them medicating me. Two out of the three nurses I had were uncompassionate and my doctor acted like she didn't really care about what was happening. After about 6 hours of laying in the hospital, being pumped with fluids and about 4 hours in.
The long story short, if you can avoid it, don't go to Grady, go to a minute clinic or some hospital much better, such as saint Anne's or children's hospital, they're more efficient in their jobs.
Went there with a foot injury. Although service was fairly quick, all they did was take a couple x-rays and sent me home saying I'd be fine in 3 days. That was over 6 months ago. I'm still getting pain from it. We took my sister there recently and they took two hours to get us in and out just to say we shouldn't worry about her fever not going down and just keep her home from school.
I would give the hospital a 0 if I could. There was only 1 nurse that was helpful. My wife was in the ICU but conscious All nurses except for 1 refused to do anything including helping her with her bedpan. So I had to step up and wipe her bum for her isn't that the nurses job? They were rude to her and above all else, their lack of understanding of basic medicine put her in the ICU in the first place. Their lack of ability almost killed my wife. We will never go back there!
I only gave Grady 3 stars because I haven't been seen since my son's birth. I'm sure things have changed since then.
When you throw a temper tantrum you will go to the mental ward. ( This also happens in other hospitals.) When you scream and throw a fit for pain meds don't expect them to look at you like you're not a pill popper. I'm willing to bet no one throws a fit over Tylenol or other OTC drugs. Unless you are a doctor or surgeon how do you know what procedure is needed or not? Last but not least unless you walk around following the doctor all day how do you know if he/she read your chart or not?
Just my 2 cents
To clarify, the staff of every wing except for the ER. They were very kind and respectful to everyone.
The ER. I have been in the ER on multiple occasions, very rarely the patient. I have noticed that a majority of the staff were disrespectful. The janitors and the staff from patient records are nice. I haven't been there in a while, so I am also counting that there may have been staff changes since the last time I was in there.

Would not recommend going to this oral surgeon. Appointment was at 9:15 am I arrived on time and after finishing paperwork, I was taken to a room to wait on the Dr. for over a hour. Being that I have a appointment at a oral surgeon obviously my tooth is not in good health, the D.R. pushed on my gums of the bad tooth, with hurt a lot, which I didn't feel like their was any need for. Once we finally started with the extraction he had far to many problems trying to remove the tooth, and keep hitting my other teeth with his tool multiple times. Just a overall bad experience. If could give half star I would.
My Mom was taken by squad to the ER with a severe cut on the back of her leg that ran the length of her calf. The entire staff, from the front desk, to the registration assistant, to the nurses were kind, caring and patient with my Mom and our entire family. The PA who came in and looked at her wound and eventually did the sutures was absolutely fantastic. Janel Scarborough, we can't thank you enough for taking such good care of my Mom, for being so kind during the process and for putting her back together. To you, I know it was another "case" for your day but to us, she is our only Mom. Thank you for making us know that she really mattered to you as a person, not just another ER case.
I was in the hospital last night and I was diagnosed with upper respiratory infection hacking cough and my lungs up puking and all they did was a breathing treatment and sent me home with prescriptions and only give me one day off work and they had me going back to work today but yet I work in the food industry and when you are coughing and hacking and puking everybody knows you cannot work and food industry haven't. So I asked him to give me another day and they told me you have to come back in and be seen again this hospital is a joke and a bunch of cracks in the rudest way
I went to the Grady Emergency Room last week asking for help. I am a single mother of a 19 year bipolar daughter. The mental health professionals in Franklin and Delaware Counties have not been accepting new patients since we moved her last August - so my daughter hasn't seen a Dr. or Therapist for 7 months and her behavior has become intolerable. She curses at me, throws things at me, make fun of me, hits me, on and on until I finally left and went to the Emergency Room in tears. I was hoping for an iv, a kind word, and prescription to help me gain my composure and some strength. Instead, I was informed that I should quit rewarding that behavior and she will quit doing it. "NO, she needs more medication - and then she will stop acting that was." It is not my fault she acting that was - reward, no reward - she will continue to act perverse until her medication is modified." So then they changed my diagnosis from acute anxiety to "UTI" - they gave me a prescription for Bacterim and sent me on my went. They didn't document the anxiety I came to the ER withI didn't make it up. And the mental health resources around are booked so that it is possible that I have been living with a manic person for 7 months. I do need help. I can't tell you the feeling it has left me with - I went to the ER asking for help and they essentially didn't believe me I guess. My life is really hard and I don't ask for help very often if ever - you can check the charts. My confidence in Ohio Health is really shaken. I wish there were so logical explanation.
