Bartlett Regional Hospital: "I have received care at Bartlett for routine xrays/MRIs, labs, emergency room and surgeries. Care varies from okay to “I was afraid for my life”. I am truly afraid that they will end up killing me. Nurses are often transient, here to make money and then leave. Although there are some caring people at the facility, especially if they are born and raised here, but most of the time money is the bottom line at Bartlett, not the patient. I go Outside if I can, where competition keeps cost down and there are specialists available. Now that SEARHC is growing, we have a more caring alternative. During first COVID, I will always remember that SEARHC had the vaccine available to all when Bartlett did not." - carole

: "Got to the ER at ANMC took about 20 minutes to get my wife checked in. During her check in the nurse stressed us that the bleed is a significantly more serious matter than my wife has led on. So with anxiety enhanced, a room full of people waiting, they put an indigent man in a wheel chair who smells so strongly of urine not one person has their face uncovered. Since we’ve been waiting without complaint for 2.5 hours I approached one of the nurses in the check in station to ask “ not to rush you, I’m w just wondering if you knew a ballpark time as to how much longer it would be until she gets taken back” before I could finish she rudely cut me off letting me kno in the shortest manner possible that no she’s busy and they’re understaffed. She was a blatant bitch tbh. I understand being understaffed or overworked, I’ve seen it. I just haven’t seen it here. In the past twenty-five minutes she’s moved from her chair twice, checked in one patient and may as well be asleep. No she’s not on the computer, charting, trying to move the line of people, I don’t know how to do her job, however I do know it can’t be getting done right if at all at this point. She’s been on shift for 45 minutes.none of it’s a big deal but when you put it together with a shit attitude I can’t imagine why you’d even feel comfortable having a career in which you spend your time helping people that NEED help not spoke down to. Then again it IS ANMC, we’ve yet to have a nice experience here" - Ray
