Morristown Medical Center

Posting for a friend or anybody who this may concern,

Zero stars! THEIFS.

I WAS IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT ( Thank god I am alive and was able to leave the same day) AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND WHEN I GOT MY CLOTH BACK THE MONEY IN MY WALLET WAS GONE. I WAS LEFT WITH SIX DOLLARS AND I HAD ROUGLY 500$ IN MY WALLET. I BARLEY DIDNT EVEN GET TO SPEAK TO A NURSE AND COMPLAIN AS SOON AS I SAID MONEY WAS MISSING SECURITY WAS UP THERE BFORE ANYTHING. ITS LIKE THEY PLANNED THIS OUT BEFORE HAND.

THANK GOD I WAS ALIVE AND WELL ENOUGH TO REMEMEBER EXACTLY HOW MUCH MONEY I HAD IN MY WALLET. TOTAL DISGRACE TO SERVING THE COMMUNITY WHEN I DIDNT EVEN GET CLEANED. I LEFT WITH FIBER GLASS ALL IN MY HEAD AND FACE AND MY MONEY GONE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE THIS IS CONFLICTING AND I FEEL TOTALLY DECIEVED AND I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SAY.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, AND I DONT KNOW HOW ANYONE CAN RELY ON THIS HOSPITAL AFTER EXPERIENCING WHAT I EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY NOT TO MENTION THE LACK OF TREATMENT AND LEAVING MY HEAD THE WAY IT WAS AFTER THE ACCIDENT FOR 5 HOURS NO ONE CLEANED ME AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE I ALMOST LEFT WITH THE NEEDLE THAT THEY USED TO INJECT THE DYE (cat scan I believe its called a catheter?) STILL CONNECTED TO MY VEINS. THEY WERE VERY RUDE ONLY WANTED ME TO STAY RESTRAINT RATHER THAN ATLEAST CLEANING MY HEAD AND MAKING ME FEEL SOMEWHAT COMFORTABLE AND I GET IT ITS PROTOCOL AND I UNDERSTAND BUT TAKING MY MONEY WAS THE CHERRY ON TOP AND IF NO ONE WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS THEN THAT IS INHUMAN BECAUSE I FEEL BETRAYED MANIPULATED AND MISTREATED! STEALING IS WRONG! I SONT CARE WHO THE PERSON IS YOU DONT STEAL FROM PEOPLE ESPECIALLY PATIENTS THAT ARE IN THEIR MOST VULERABLE.

. THIS WAS ABUSE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT AND IT MAKES ME SAD THAT I WAS INDISCRIMINATELY TREATED AND ROBBED AND DID NOT GET MEDICALLY CLEANED CORRECTLY FOR MY CUTS. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SOMEONE IS STEALING OUT OF WALLETS FROM THE PATIENTS. I EVEN GOT PERSONAL GOT ON MY ONEES WHEN I GOT THERE AND TOLD THE NURSES WHAT I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH I SEEMED VULERABLE AND I WISH THE AMBULANCE TOOK ME TO A DIFFERENT HOSPITAL.

I WANT TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR ANYONE BOT GO GO THROUGH THIS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SIGN OFF ON WHAT YOU CAME IN WITH (because security kept on using it as an excuse that there was no record of my money being there and I agree, that was their way of getting away with it and its disgusting) AND BY ALL COSTS AVOID GOING TO THIS HOSPITAL(any hospital.) HAPPY HOLIDAYS I HOPE THE MONEY WAA WORTH IT BECAUSE GOD DOES NOT FORGET A THING. EDIT** MY SISTER IN LAW CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND IS AS DISAPPOINTED AS I AM, CONSIDERING SHE USED TO WORK IN THAT HOSPITAL AND ITS CHRISTMAS AND I STILL CANT GET OVER GET OVER MY EXPERIENCE AT THIS HOSPITAL WHILE I COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY LOST MY LIFE(again, thank god I didnt ) I AM ALREADY DEEMED WITH ENOUGH LOOSES, INCLUDING MY CAR. I DIDNT NEED TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS.

ATLEAST HAVE SOME MORALS. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I had bypass surgery from top surgeon at Morristown Hospitsl. Several things happened before I was released.

A cardiologist came by to introduce him self and suddenly jumped back and was startled. I looked down and saw why. I was covered with blood. Apparently, after being administered a shot I bleed out.

Nurse quickly came in and resolved issue. After 8 days I was about to be released. Fortunately, my ride to pick me up was late. A PT asked if I wanted to walk around before i left.

It was difficult and I started to cough and feel like I couldnt clear my throat. She rushed me back to my room and plopped me down on chair and disappeared permanently. ( when I saw her again days later she was very defensive and never was my PT again). I didnt have my call button and thought she was getting me help.

I looked down and my chest started to expand. It was hard for me to find my call button but finally strained to reach for it. Nurse got on right away and I told her something was terribly wrong. She called code blue and contacted my surgeon who wasnt in.

She got another surgeon on call and did some tests. I was told I

needed emergency surgery which I got 3 hours later. They gave me papers to sign. I called friends and texted because I was in serious trouble.

( I woke up, yes wide awake, during surgery. The pain was unbearable. I could hear instruments being thrown in a metal bucket as the surgeon worked on my heart..felt helpless and pain was unbearable). Could hear nurses talking amongst each other.

Finally after about 5 minutes of absolute torture I felt myself drifting back under. After getting back to a room after intensive care I was told I was given too much blood thinner and I had blood clots removed. I had a lot of transfusions. Later I was told the original doctor had knicked my heart with the clamp and it was repaired.

I Dont know if I was more surprised that the top doctor knicked my heart or the fact they were being honest with me. When I was recovering from second open heart surgery one evening I felt like I was having an anxiety attack so called nurse. It took a while to settle down. The next morning a nurse walked in and said that the reaction you had last night was because I gave you the wrong medicine!

I wonder what it was! Anyway,

my recovery has been long and hard.

Its been .several years and I have had the sternum wire come through my skin on my chest several times. The good news is I did survive and am okI hope.

.Morristown Medical Center: A Hospital Divided Between Excellent Nurses and Inattentive Doctors

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

My recent stay at Morristown Medical Center was a frustrating and confusing experience. While the vast majority of the nurses I encountered were truly excellent, the doctors I interacted with were either absent or dismissive.

This stark contrast created a disjointed and ultimately disappointing experience.

Nurses: The Shining Stars

The dedication and professionalism of the nurses at Morristown Medical Center were its redeeming quality. They were attentive, compassionate, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my well-being. They provided excellent care, answered my questions patiently, and addressed my concerns promptly. I am truly grateful for their kindness and dedication.

Doctors: Absent and Disengaged

Unfortunately, my experience with the doctors at Morristown Medical Center was far less positive.

Despite my repeated requests, I rarely saw the appropriate physicians to address my primary medical concerns. On multiple occasions, I was informed that the doctor was on their way, only to be left waiting for hours or even days. This lack of communication and availability from the doctors led to feelings of frustration, neglect, and ultimately a lack of confidence in their care.

Unacceptable Room Transfer

Further compounding my disappointment was the unexpected transfer from a private room to a shared room. This decision was made without my consent and disregarded my need for privacy and quiet during my recovery.

The shared room environment, unfortunately, turned out to be disruptive and detrimental to my well-being.

Overall Impression

The stark contrast between the excellent care provided by the nurses and the inattentiveness of the doctors created a confusing and frustrating experience at Morristown Medical Center. While I am grateful for the dedication of the nursing staff, the lack of communication and access to appropriate medical care from the doctors left me feeling dissatisfied and unheard.

My niece was brought into the Pediatric Emergency room on 11/23 with a head injury after falling out of her highchair. I was put on speaker with the permission of my brother and my sister-in-law, who were present in the ER with my niece.

While asking questions and bringing my own expertise to the table, after consulting with other fellow nurses and MDs, it was agreed that I had legitimate questions and concerns asking Dr.Mihir Vyas, who simply dismissed what I was saying.

While I understand that the healthcare industry is inherently demanding and that unforeseen challenges can arise, it has saddened me to see how certain providers can belittle and not listen to your consumers who go to Morristown Medical Center. It is disheartening to not be listened to and hear that I am a Pediatric ER physician 3 times in a 7-minute conversation, when I know already what your title is.

I have been a registered nurse for 23 years, and I have not dealt with this type of mannerism from a provider since I became a nurse.

I understand that providers follow an algorithm and protocols for all who come into the ER, as we do for all our patients- inpatients and outpatients, but there is no need to dismiss what I am saying and not acknowledge my words and it unacceptable to be disrespectful. Truth be told, if anything happens to my niece under these conditions, I will hold Dr.Mihir Vyas and Morristown Medical Center 100% accountable.

Do NOT go to the hospital unless there is absolutely no other option (and do not go to its sister hospital, Overlook in Summit, either). Atlantic Health Care should be called Atlantic *** Care due to the horrendous care provided to patients.

BEWARE! If you go there, they are not looking to get you better or try to determine the best plan of care. They are looking to bill you for as many tests and procedures and spend as little time with you as possible. Bill and discharge is their plan of care.

The doctors are so inept, and they are not there to get to the bottom of things. They are lazy and will try to place a foley catheter, so they don't have to help you to the bathroom---DO NOT ALLOW THIS!! It adds so much risk of infection and complications. They are a DISGRACE!!!

God forbid you are over 80 years or older----they think you should be in the grave. Both hospitals are a disgrace!

My 18 year old daughter went for abdominal pain- ovarian cyst. Trying to find the ER and parking was horrendous.

We had to sit in the waiting area for 4 hours and 15 minutes without being seen. Halfway through our wait time, I inquired about when she would be seen and was told they do not even have her in the system yet. I was also told she had to go by the pediatric section because she was under 20 years old. After we continued our wait, we became totally aggravated and left after a few people who came long after us was given a room while we still had to wait.

Communication was terrible, as was their ER service. In fact, while we were there for 4 plus hours, a lot of people who came in ambulances wound up leaving in ubers because of lack of service.

My daughter left there to go to a different hospital, where she was seen right away! I give it a zero!
