The Christ Hospital - Cincinnati, Ohio

Shelbi Stewart

I was brought to Christ hospital ER after becoming unconscious at a bar. No bloodwork was done, no cardiology work up even after they learned my cardiac history. They said they didn’t need to run labs because it was clearly over consumption of alcohol and they see it every night. However, I had only 4 alcoholic drinks in a span of 6 hours. I was completely sober minutes before I became disoriented and collapsed. The people I was with at the bar informed the staff multiple times of the alcoholic beverages I consumed and how I was before I went down. They wouldn’t hear it and even tried to insinuate that I was on drugs. They wouldn’t know since they never ran labs but I was not. When I became conscious again 6 hours later the nurse had already drafted my discharge papers and stated I was alert and walking which wasn’t the case. When my husband confronted her she said my vitals were good so I was good to go and to feel free to schedule a follow up with my primary care physician. I did follow up with my PCP and after going over everything that happened throughout the night leading up to the event she said it sounded like my drink could’ve been spiked with a drug commonly known as the date rape drug. Of course we’ll never know if that’s the case, thanks to the ER staff at Christ and their inability to do their job.

I had the worst experience in the ER on December 11th. The staff had not a clue how take vitals, put an IV in, or read doctors instructions.

My total arm is bruised from RN. Another RN tried to get the IV in the inside of my arm. They missed the vien and I could not bend my arm for the 2 days I was in there.

Once, I was on the floor I had nurses that I could not understand.

My stay got worst when the blood stickers could not get blood out of hand or arm. I finally had to show them I was dehydrated by doing the skin test. Then I recieved some saline drip. Some,of the blood stickers had not a clue or did not care how to take blood.

They do you a PureWick. It filled up and spoiled over. The nurse told me I need to keep an eye on it. It is not my job and I can't see it behind my head.

I will not be returning to Christ Hospital ER or for a stay in the Cardiovascular Floor.

I was a patient at this location in early July and was on 5 South. I have to tell you about how well my nurses treated me! I was monitored as expected and received the utmost care and respect by my entire team of nurses. If only I could remember all of their names as I was in there for 4 days I’d Love to be able to list them individually but they were the absolute best team and really took their love for their jobs to heart! Thank you for making my stay as exceptional as you possibly could, means the world to me ❤️ Loretta

You would think that Christ Hospital would want their patients to be up to date on vaccines and not put obstacles in their way. Instead they force you to go to your primary care office without regard to how far away it is or how difficult it is to get there, especially in the winter, especially for older patients with transportation difficulty who cannot combine vaccines without getting severely ill. Some of us also have inadequate insurance and limited pharmacy options.

I am extremely disappointed, frustrated, and frankly pissed off about my recent experience at Christ hospital.

My Mother came in on Wednesday 11/27 (night before Thanksgiving) because her nursing home where she resides thought she had a stroke, which was confirmed the next day that she did in fact have a stroke. My sister and I arrived the next morning (Thanksgiving Day). We got there about 9am and she was on the 3rd Floor Surgical ICU in room 330 or 331. We spoke to a doctor about 10 am. This was the ONLY time during her almost week stay-AFTER A STROKE-that we were able to talk to a doctor. The doctor we spoke to on this day I believe her name was Dr. Schiller, younger girl with reddish hair. She's the one that confirmed the stroke, it was caused by hypertension/high BP, they would be doing a swallowing study, and few other details. She was very nice and gave us all the information she could at that point. My sister and I came up again on Saturday 11/30. Her nurses while on this floor, specifically Mary Kate, were amazing. She was awesome.

12/1-I came up again on Sunday 12/1. While I was there Mom got moved out of the ICU onto 4 west, room 4081. Before I left I made sure to tell the nurse, Emma, that we wanted a doctor to call us back in the morning after rounds, specifically my older sister (we are both on her chart with correct phone numbers). I literally saw her type it in the computer as 'pass on notes' for the night nurse who would inevitably be the one to give the message to the doctor in the morning. Guess that didn't happen.

12/2-Monday comes around and no call from a doctor. My sister called up there, and had to try several times since the phone just kept ringing once she was transferred by the operator, and once again had to ask for a doctor to please call her back. I believe the nurse she spoke with was named Abby. No call from a doctor.

12/3- My sister comes up around 10am to visit Mom. When she walked into her room my Mom was covered in filth. My sister thought she may have thrown up but the nurse said it was her coffee? It was all down her shirt and the side of the bed, which we thought was weird. Mom got discharged later that evening and made it back to her nursing home. STILL NO CALL FROM A DOCTOR. I called up myself around 615 pm and spoke with nurse Emily. I explained, in detail, that no doctor had given us a call back when we've asked several times. All we wanted was 15 minutes of someone's time to ask what we should expect for our Mom in the coming weeks/months, what's her prognosis, what should we look out for, what meds, if any, were updated, added, or changed. Anything about PT/OT, which we knew she'd need, but it would still have been nice to hear from an actual doctor about all this. When explaining all this to Emily I even asked "Do doctor's not talk to families anymore?", she even said the attending doctor should be able to call me back- and I'm sure you can guess NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. I don't care that she was discharged that day/night, someone still should have called me back. I asked her what doctor's had seen her and she mentioned Dr. Ngasi (probably spelling that wrong), and Dr. Gurney who was the resident doctor.

My Mom is now back at her nursing home but we were just told today that she is unable to feed herself and that the nursing home would be getting special utensils for her. This is the type of thing that a doctor could have given us a heads up on what to expect if anybody even cared to call us. And now with this information and hindsight, I believe she was filthy when my sister got there on 12/3 because she probably tried to drink/eat something and was unable to.

All of this to say that we are extremely unhappy with the fact that no doctor ever called us, after repeated requests. Is that the standard for this hospital? Never have we had an experience like this. The doctors that refused to give us 15 minutes of their time should be ashamed and embarrassed. Is it just that fact that none of them want to be held accountable?

I had labs drawn on sat sep 14 at the mob suite 130. Stephanie was wonderful. She was the only employee and she had quite a few people to register and draw. She was skilled and efficient I would give her 5 stars .but the hospital should have at the very least a person to register .

My dad was transferred to The Christ Hospital after no Indiana hospital had a bed for him. The staff was wonderful to him, from his nurse Janet to a random janitor who volunteered to walk my brother and I all of the way up to our dad's floor when we first arrived and were trying to find his room. All of my dad's care staff were incredibly nice to us and seemed to really know their jobs and even the cafeteria had good food. I hope that we never need to go back but if we do, I'm confident that the hospital will do their best to help my dad.

The hospital closed their rheumatology departments down and didn't notify the patients until the last minute, leaving everyone scrambling. I am going to be without meds, thanks to the ineptitude. I didn't even find out myself until i tried to reschedule my appointment and was told if i needed to reschedule. I needed to find a new doctor. No other explanation was given. So we pay top tier for less than sub par service.
