Hospitals in Greensboro, NC

Realizing some people overreact to a loved one's death, but I'm hoping everyone will take my review seriously. My mom passed away in March of this year, and she was actually getting better prior to being transferred to this hospital. The first day she was there the doctor wrote she was being treated for cirrhosis of the liver, and said it was going to be ok. I remember telling the doctor my mom had never drank, smoked etc. He said "Some people get it genetically or from certain medications", it still made no sense to me. She was originally transferred there for acute renal failure, but the doctor has nothing about that in her entrance records. However, he did say she was going to get better, and would be on her way to a full recovery in a few weeks. My mom never got better, she developed a peptic ulcer, hepatic encephalopathy, Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, Swollen abdomen, Malnutrition - the nurses would report her as being fed, but she never ate. She was placed on sulfa drugs and she was allergic to sulfa. There were so many things done to her, and just ignored. I am not kidding my mom was given a lot of meds she was allergic to, and she was never fed. She basically started starving to death which made her liver worse, and eventually died. The hospital is also very dirty, looking in some of the drawers in my mom's room there was something that looked exactly like mouse droppings. There were things left in the room from former patients such as pajamas etc. The cabinets were filthy and made of metal due to the fact they were original from the 1950's. It was a complete nightmare.Please do not take your loved ones to this hospital.

You never, never want a loved one going to this hospital he/she will not come out alive. It is the worst hospital in all of North Carolina, I had a loved one transferred here with the understanding it was an acute care facility. There's nothing acute about this place accept the patients who are placed there. The doctors don't even work for the hospital full-time, you can ask to see a doctor and they'll say "The doctor will be here shortly". The doctor shows up the next day, and I finally asked one of the nurses ...where are the doctors? She told me there were no full-time doctors, and the ones that are there have practices usually out of Greensboro. There are times when there's no doctor in the hospital at all, I mean they have no doctor on site. Most of the doctors if you google their offices you'll see they're almost all foreign, and offices are out of Greensboro. Sometimes more than an hour from the hospital...how is a doctor expected to help his/her patient if he/she is over an hour away from the hospital. My loved one died a horrible death because they would do nothing to help. Once he got to sick to really help they just simply started giving him drugs to keep him sleeping. I am telling you 'NEVER' allow your loved ones to go to this hospital if you want them to live. Google the obituaries in Danville, VA, Greensboro, Winston -Salem, etc. and see how many people die at this hospital. Please if you love your family member, friend etc. do not allow him/her to go here.
