Baystate Medical Center Hospital


Just about everything was good about my stay except a few very important points. I was having a breathing problem (see profile) and had 2 unresponsive and uppity nurses. Other than these 2 night nurses, the care I received was fine. My brother told me that the woman in the family waiting room was didn't do her job and made personal phone calls the whole time he and other families were waiting. She had promised to tell him when I was in a room, after several hours (and many of her personal phone calls), my brother went up and asked her and she said I'd gotten a room an hour and a half ago :-( . My brother said she was snippy with him when he got upset about that. They also messed up my paperwork describing which type of RNY surgery I was supposed to have, which worked out fine for me but could have been disasterous in someone else's situation.
