Unc Hospitals - Chapel Hill

I have never felt less human than when I was seen at the UNC emergency department. I waited six hours to see a doctor, and I had kidney stones which is incredibly painful. I was not given pain medicine until after the doctor came in and then was immediately discharged. My nurse was incredibly rude and unprofessional. UNC hospitals is the most poorly run hospital I have ever been to. I am ashamed to go to a school where the medical care is so horrific.

I've been sitting here in excruciating pain for several hours and the RUDE way the admitting nurse kept interrupting my answers to the training nurses questions you'd think they were in a rush to see me ..NOPE. I got here YESTERDAY!! STILL WAITING!!

Physicians were knowledgeable and showed care and concern. Nursing staff, on the other hand, were negligent, poorly trained, lacked compassion, and nonattentive. As long as the patient didn't need them, they were friendly. Once they became in need of nursing attention after a Surgical procedure their inability and lack of desire came out. I've worked and have been a patient in multiple hospitals across the United States. This is by far one of the worse. And their semi private rooms in this day and age of covid, super bugs, homelessness, and influx of immigrants with no documentation of vaccinations is unacceptable. Both of my roommates had infectious transmittance diseases. Being a nurse for over 45 years in the capacity of staff, management, educator, supervisor I'm well versed in hospital care and protocol. The mistakes made by this nursing staff jeopardize my safety and health.

We trusted UNC with the delivery of our baby, and we are thrilled with the care that we received. The expertise of the staff was apparent, and the nurses and lactations teams were superb. They treated our family so well and were extremely flexible when it came time to be discharged. I recommend them without reservation.

There 's not even enough room. Was in psych wards division a couple times years ago. Psych staff don 't watch cases carefully, several are poorly equip by hospital, not familiar with responsibility, just trying to breeze through to next phase of their careers, and even try to twist perspectives of the patients with mind games or redirection of thinking , one specific one smiling at me when doing so and not caring about provoking an episode from. Division admins focus on misbehavior and real or nonexistent crisis in very archaic, biased way that doesn 't fit, recoil from patients in many senses, and are irresponsible, either reactive or uninformed, with measures and treatments . Seclusion rooms , referred to in kids ' unit as time-out rooms , is used more like the no matter age, most often out of slights or when the patients are in serious need of being quelled by communication. Treating the patients like brats and dangers , being aggressive, threatening, taking personally, snickering, mocking, laughing and more evades problems and creates more problems in self-fulfilling prophecies. They 're so clueless and contradictory about it, switching between moods and expressions with a sense of content or thrill or unrealistic expectation, demeanors like living in alternate worlds. Same unit walking a 'dangerous kid by the hood of a sweatshirt to one of rooms just for refusing to stay in sleeping quarters, or another unpredictable kid by wrists and ankles while crying, cold turkeys patients. Same unit splitting genders to prevent sexual violence more than struggles with gender identities, but one staffer look through curtain while I showered when I was on suicide watch, another threatened me after accusing me of being threat and made me stand up, look in eye, uncross arms . THEY had problems when WE used bad words that weren 't even cussing! Not discounting the medical actions without warrant or consent that was only fraudulently recorded as such, details I won 't elaborate for patients to speak for themselves. Serious need for legal action and penalties, down to arrests and convictions in numerous regards, with serious reparations and overhauling to boot, especially if years later severity is as bad today if not worse.
