Indian Path Medical Center Stories
Jun 13, 2022, 11:13 PM
Indian Path Medical Center: "I laid in the ER for two days trying to get a bed at a hospital with a GI doctor. The first night I had to sleep in my shoes. I got a pillow without a pillow case. The staff was overworked and stressed to the max. They don’t have enough nurses to handle the case loads. I begged for liquid food and finally got it the second day. By the time I was transported to a larger hospital, I was really weak and could hardly move. Consequently, when I took a test there,I was really weak and thought I was going to die., The nurses are nice and work hard but do not have the support from Ballad Health they need." - Charles
