Central Baptist Hospital: "Notoriously long wait times. But.. Very thorough diagnosis. I had skin infection. Central Baptist was 3rd hospital after it kept getting worse. Only one willing to test bacteria. Turned out to be MRSA." - Russell

Central Baptist Hospital: "Scheduled an induction for this morning so my husband wouldn't miss the birth of his first child before a work trip to Cali.
Was informed when we arrived at 5 a.m. today that they would not admit us if we had our 13 YO with us. They said he couldn't wait in the labor and delivery lobby, in our room, or any other place in the hospital unless my husband stayed with him the whole time, effectually missing the birth and leaving me to labor alone because having my son there is "a safety issue."
They did say they would admit me alone though! So, it's safe to say I won't ever be going back to Central Baptist and obviously I don't recommend their heartless, bureaucratic services.
My husband actually had to remind me of the quality of their care I recieved a year ago when they left me to wait hours on a gurney in a hallway in the emergency room with COVID alone (they told me then that my husband and son had to leave the lobby and couldn't wait with me then too, go figure) while they treated everyone else first, after the check in nurse forgot to turn in my registration information for 2 hours.
I was suffering from COVID pneumonia and they did little to nothing except give me saline and a Tylenol and one steroid pill four hours later. Had to go to Saint Joseph a day later, where I actually received proper, safe care and treatment for the pneumonia and COVID and compassionate doctors who didn't prioritize liability over the "safe care" they care so much about. If I had remembered it was Central Baptist, I'd have never chosen a midwife in a practice that uses their building, let alone scheduled something so important to have it twarted." - J

Central Baptist Hospital: "i got hit in face with a 30 pound hammer . I had a 2 inch gash that needed stitches . Waited in the ER from 6pm to 11pm and still didn't get a room. Didn't even give me an ice pack for my swollen eye socket . Watch the ER fill up and Empty twice . Everyone came in after me and everyone was taken to a room before me. Asked them how much longer it was going to be and they said I had one other person in front of me ...two hours later I watched 4 other people get called back ahead of me. Seems like malpractice to me. " - nathan
