St Vincent Internal Medicine

I personally havent had any issues with medical care

I recommend staying home to die, rather than come to this death trap! My grandmother went in for one reason and then said she was in there for another. They didn't listen to her when she said she needed her medication. Upon arrival the staff picked her up out of the wheelchair and ripped her skin (an 8 inch gaping wound) behind her knee down to her ankle, and they said she fell. The nurses did not seem professional and were getting annoyed when we came to visit because we asked them for things like blankets and water. If you don't mind the drive, saint Margaret's in Pittsburgh, PA was leaps and bounds better.

Beware of Saint V's!!! My daughter, who for those of you who don’t know suffered cardiac arrest in July, was resuscitated 3 times (twice at St. V’s) then spent 8 days in UPMC children’s hospital down in Pittsburgh. Tonight she was having chest pains so I called the ambulance, they insisted on taking her into the hospital. Upon our arrival, the nurse at St. V’s to instruct the medics to take her out to the triage area; which is a nice way of saying the waiting room. After 20 minutes of waiting I flipped out on staff and asked for a copy of what the medics provided to them so I could take her to Hamot/UPMC. It took me screaming and threatening the staff for them to realize she was brought in by ambulance before they took her back… then the same nurse documented she was to be treated for shortness of breath due to asthma. NOT at all what we were there for; by the time she was finally seen by a doctor we had waited 2 hours. Thank god, she is okay but again beware of Saint V's!!!
