Lake Granbury Medical Center: "Lake Granbury Medical Center is the poorest excuse for a hospital. My mom went for a routine knee surgery. Things went downhill fast. Having my mom just lay there with her oxygen in the low 80’s and not putting her on oxygen, having her so doped up and hallucinating. Nothing getting done until my daughter gets there like you guys just leave her in the bed to die and now we get told, by the doctor, that her excess pain is because she has a broken femur due to him and nothing is in her records about that. The physical therapist couldn’t believe that he didn’t know about that either. Everything about your hospital sucks I wouldn’t even bring a dead dog to you guys" - Roisue

Lake Granbury Medical Center: "I have had 6 surgeries at Lake Granbury in the last 3 years--not by choice--it was the only hospital my surgeon worked at. Although there were some very nice people on the staff, there were certainly some rotten apples. But much worse were the mistakes and poor medical practice EVERY time: running out of the right IV med, having wrong info in their computer system, ordering the wrong blood supply--repeatedly!, having no equipment needed for when I was unable to stand (and subsequently dropping me on the floor, and injuring me)......etc., etc. but the last was the worst--I definitely acquired MRSA during surgery.....and they're claiming zero cases? Liars! 6 months later I am still being treated for it, and will most likely have to manage it for the rest of my life--and I truly doubt I'm the only one that picked it up there--that's not how it generally works. And I came out of surgery with serious bruising in places that had nothing to do with the surgery--they know my genetic condition requires gentle handling, but it was obvious I had been very roughly handled while unconscious.....I'm done! I would rather change surgeons than EVER use that hospital again! And every time I've tried to use their ER (and it takes a lot for me to even consider it) they scratch their heads and shrug their shoulders, and act like there's nothing to find......and I end up driving to Harris where they recognize the problem-whatever it happens to be and successfully treat me--while being professional, competent, and kind. Harris Ft. Worth is definitely worth the drive! But I wouldn't want anyone I cared about to be in Lake Granbury" - P.
