Bad head injury two weeks ago. I spent 9 days in an Alaska hospital till I was well enough to travel back to Louisiana. The earliest I could get an appointment was for this Thursday morning but I really need to see a Neurologist. Called the hospital and its a 3 hour wait at the moment. Talked to emergency room nurse and she cant tell me if I could even see a neurologist? At a loss of words at the moment. Heading to Thibodaux for check in.

You all can extend and build new parts of the hospital but can't extend and add more rooms to the emergency room this is ridiculous that it takes a typical 8 hour shift to be seen at this hospital and every time you ask about how long they say we don't have any rooms available yet that's a shame for this hospital to spend thousands of dollars on different parts of the hospital instead of putting it where it should be like the emergency room this is supposed to be a top tier hospital but I feel like the rest of the hospital is top tier except the emergency room people with critical problems come here hence emergency but if it will take this long to be seen I won't come back this is a shame and needs to be addressed immediately

My father passed away at this hospital on the morning of January 24th, 2024. My siblings and I drove from different states to be with him when we learned he was having a heart attack. The hospital successfully put in 3 stents and I was on the phone when the Dr. Came in to tell my stepmother that he would be going home in 2-3 days and the surgery was a success. Fast forward and my father was experiencing extreme abdominal discomfort. Extreme. It was the most difficult thing to watch how the nursing staff treating him and us. I have to say that there was one younger blonde nurse who was incredibly compassionate, the other two were awful. My father was continuously told to calm down with a raised voice (by the middle aged brunette nurse) and we were all told that he only had anxiety. This went on for hours until my brother asked why our father's abdome was so distended on one side. At that point the nurse decided he needed a CT scan, which turned into an MRI after she spoke to cardiology. This is where they discovered massive internal bleeding which was worsened by the blood thinners he was on following surgery. You see, my father did not need a laxative (as the brunette nurse gave him), he was bleeding internally. The story gets worse. My father had been vomiting that morning prior to going to the hospital. He was vomiting coffee ground like material which indicates a GI bleed from what I know. He had been bleeding internally for quite some time. While this nurse continued to raise her voice and tell my poor father he was suffering from anxiety and needed to calm down, he was in agony due to the internal bleeding. As the morning turned to afternoon, and afternoon to evening, his suffering increased with the same reaction from the brunette nurse and another blonde nurse who was also middle aged. My father began to struggle intensely with his breathing. He repeatedly told the nurses that he could not breathe. No reaction, just the continued narrative that he was just suffering from anxiety. He was not suffering from anxiety, at least that is not the whole story. I was in the room with my father as he started to thrash back and forth begging for help to breathe and the nursing staff did nothing until my father went unconscious. At that point the older blonde nurse pushed me away from his bedside and told me I needed to leave because now it was an emergency. A male was in the corner by the door, as my father was unconscious, and very calmly said they now had to do an emergency intubation, there was no urgency about that guy. There was no rush to any of them. No comfort offered by one of them. My father was a Proud Vietnam Veteran. He deserved so much better than what Thibodaux ICU staff offered. Nurse's are supposed to be kind and compassionate. The cardiologist was rude and short but Surgeons are known for that. You ICU Nurse's, the two who primarily treated my father, need to take a good look at your profession of choice. I have had much experience with hospital staff and this was the worst I have ever seen or experienced in my life, and at the most traumatizing point in my life. You let my father drown from pulmonary edema, suffer in agony, while you raised your voices at a 77 year old veteran, husband, father, son. Please fix yourselves.
