An ambulance had to pick me up because I couldn't even crawl into the car. They did not believe I was injured my entire stay, kept telling me to stand up or sit up. They were convinced I was there for pain drugs. I kept begging them to stop giving me shots and please xray or MRI my spine, to no avail. They also ignored my pleas to use the restroom for several hours. This was the most humiliating and disgusting experience I have ever had with any medical facility.Blue Napkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272742044389602760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-9887278713737560252009-08-24T22:25:39.827-07:002009-08-24T22:25:39.827-07:00On July 13 2009 my mom had a diffibulator/pacemake...On July 13 2009 my mom had a diffibulator/pacemaker/ICD surgicly put in to her chest.Unfortinitly the staff had not put in her IV right and medication and what ever else was put in infected her arm.Instead of my mom going to her own private room she was rushed to ICU she suffered a heart attack. what was even worse the performing surgent walked pass the waiting room and was on his way out till we stoped him,and even then he had nothing to say but all be back to see her tommorrow and they only got 2 leads in to her heart cavity their after they called Mercy Air and flew her to Western Medical Center of Anahiem were she was finished off contrast was shot in to her vein and her arm felt like it was lite with gasoline from the in side out. we were never told by both hospitals how this happend and what it was she still has no filling in her right pointer finger and right thumb.

That place is wonderful. Their services are fast, friendly and they are very professional people. I have twins that are boys that are four and do not like hospitals at all. They normally scream when thay see the hospital, but once inside the staff just knew how to handle them and we were in and out with not a problem at all. We could not get the twins to leave, they started to cry cause we were leaving. Thank You ..........

Poor attitudes and LOW morale are the norm. Don't let me start about the doctors!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-1162195937687703512006-10-30T00:12:00.000-08:002006-10-30T00:12:00.000-08:00I have a friend who had a heart attack a few years...I have a friend who had a heart attack a few years ago at the age of 17. An intense workout (a normal activity for him), coupled with taking some pain medication prescribed to his mom caused the attack. When he visited Menifee Valley Medical Center after having been in immense paid for almost 2 hours a nurse would not bother a doctor to even take a look, claiming that he was simply experiencing growing pains.<BR/><BR/>I've never had a heart attack, but I can imagine that if I did I would know pretty quickly that it wasn't growing pains. He was in enough pain to know there was something wrong, and tried to convince the nurse, but she would not let go of her growing pains theory. He did end up going to Riverside.<BR/><BR/>Add nurses not listening to patients about their condition to the list of their incompetency.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-1159730023442655512006-10-01T12:13:00.000-07:002006-10-01T12:13:00.000-07:00Menifee valley hospital,Oh....

They are staffed with the most incomptent nurses and doctors as well as management team you could ever find. I took my 1 year old daughter there because she was running a fever one night. This was a couple of months after I moved to Menifee. They basically strangled my daughter because she did not want to open her mouth for the doctor, so that he can stick the tongue depressor in her mouth. This doctor made only one attempt to look and my daugther turned her head. Next thing you know he was yelling help where these two female nurses came and restrained my baby like a mental patient. I had to take the nurses hand away from my daughters head, mouth, eyes etc... and warn the nurse about her rouhgness. And on top of that the doctor mis-diagnosed my daughter. The hosptital management did not bother to investigate my complaint. I then made a complaint with California department of health which made sure that this incident was documented in the nurses file. And the doctor..., oh well they said I have to file his incomptence with the board of medical directors. I just got too burned out to go on. I never used this hospital since then even though it is a couple of miles away from where I live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-1158625093503868082006-09-18T17:18:00.000-07:002006-09-18T17:18:00.000-07:00Unfortunately I agree.

I have three kids and it really scares me that when the time comes for an emergency I don't feel comfortable in the least going to the local hospitals around here. I am just hoping that in time we are able to have a decent hospital. I truly have hope in Menifee that we will soon become a "city" so that we can bring these type of issues to the table. We need a good hospital around just like we need a police dept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-1158251096731851592006-09-14T09:24:00.000-07:002006-09-14T09:24:00.000-07:00That story sickened me, especially the way the lit...That story sickened me, especially the way the little girl was treated by her Grandfather.<BR/>Interesting enough, my husband had a Racket Ball accident in which he was hit directly in the eye with a high speed racket ball and Menifee Valley Hospital ER took him in ahead of EVERYONE else in the waiting room. When he called me from the ER to explain what had happened and that he would need a ride home, I assumed he would be in there many hours, as a visit to any ER takes hours. When I arrived about 45 mins later, he was ready to go!! So go figure huh?? I was truely shocked. <BR/>To think that some poor bleeding Senior had to go else where for treatment is unbelievable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
