Medical Center of Southwest Louisiana Hospital


Poor nursing assistance - slept in a soiled gown because no more were available overnight and bathed myself each day. Poor housekeeping in general - trash all over my floor. Poor response to calls which can be heard in every patient's room. Emptied my own urine cup and cleaned up leakage from the floor myself so I wouldn't slip. This caused one of my trocar sites to dehisce. Tended by a nursing student and had no idea that it was a teaching hospital. Student connedted my IV incorrectly. EKG pads all over me days after surgery. Overall, sloppy work by those who work there.

Do not help with gastric bypass patient's family with this being an elective surgery family from out of town should be helped more. Very dirty hospital with all carts, beds, iv poles so dirty you could write your name in the dust. Nurse letting IV line drag the floor and pick up and hook to the patient...nursing not match up to the condition of the patient. The bed size and wheelchair size was all that was provided for overweight pateints
