I as well wanted to give no stars! If you have a type 1 diabetic child do not go to this hospital by any means! My child had to wait over an hour to get insulin after eating a 75 carb lunch that was after waiting 45 minutes for insulin after a 65 carb breakfast! Excuse was they had to calculate his carbs, which they did incorrectly everytime, then order insulin from the pharmacy. Hmmm never known a hospital to have a Type 1 on the floor and not have insulin readily available. The nurse was rude because we kept correcting her and the dr didn't know anything about diabetes and I mean NOTHING what do ever! To beat all financial services came into the children's playroom to demand they $200 deductible.
My brother was taken to ER and then admitted to ICU. Top notch care all around, doctors. Nurses, chaplains. They were all there for us when he passed and clearly shared in our pain. If I lived in the Toledo area I would insist on this hospital.
Although, it was my husband's time to go, I cannot emphasize enough the truly outstanding care he received at this hospital on the 5th and 1st floors. I would like to thank every nurse and doctor who cared for my husband during his stay and tell you that I admire all of you. You are so skilled and so caring and I had complete and total faith in everything you did. Especially your kindness and gentleness towards my husband and myself. Thank you for what you do. My husband was John L Swihart.
Thank you'

So my mother is back in this hospital - commonly referred to as the Killer Vs. They discharged her 1 week ago today despite my objections. The nurse gave me a glazed over look as I explained my point of view. She could have rolled her eyes basically. Did my concern reach the doctor as I'd asked her to convey? I don't know but what i do know is they discharged her the next day - so I doubt it.
They claimed to not be able to pinpoint an infection but sent her home anyways delaying a surgery for hernia mesh that we know is a problem. They said surgery in 4 weeks. As if she'd make it 4 weeks. I told them she wouldn't.
St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center do something that makes sense for my mother instead of playing the role of revolving door. I will be telling this story everywhere I can to put your integrity in question!
Anyone near Toledo do yourself a favor and go to a different hospital. Avoid the Killer Vs!
I have given birth to 3 kids at St V's some of the nurses were rude but most were caring and friendly! As far as going to the ER you have to remember they are a #1 trama center and cardiac hospital. Just because the waiting room is empty dosent mean the back is empty! You could end up waiting a few hours in the ER waiting room depending on the severity of your injury or illness.
