Two days of covid "treatment," which consisted of various blood tests and several bags of saline solution. Most of the time, of course, was sitting around waiting. No room, went home both nights. Total cost for several bags of saline solution (salt water must have been hit hard by inflation, eh?) and blood tests: 8k dollars (This is not a joke, especially to me). The healthcare industry is just that -- a business with outrageous prices, no disclosures of prices or estimates given before treatment, and a total "bottom line" approach to patient care. It's all about the $$$$$, ladies and gentlemen, and that's all. Anyone who says different is either a liar, a shill, or ill-informed.
Went to the ER for shortness of breath, was almost immediately taken back and triaged. My oxygen saturation when they first checked it was 55%, I was taken back and treated immediately by some of the best staff and nurses I have ever met, and I am a nurse myself. Before I was taken back to ICU they had me stabilized and breathing somewhat better. The ICU nurses and staff were phenomenal to me! One even went and bought something I needed from the gift shop, never asked for a thing in return. I see complaints of long wait times, but when I went in there in an emergent situation it was handled quickly with the utmost professionalism and care, as well as a knowledgeable nursing & respiratory staff. They were all right there with me and helped me to recover quickly and return back to work. I will always make Thomas my first choice.
Beware! ! !
This health care system, Doctors, and organization does not have any respect or consideration for patients time..

Expect a long wait.
Follow up appointment for my Brothers total knee replacement surgery was scheduled at 9:30am.. Wasn't called back until 11:30am. Sitting in waiting room in pain waiting to be seen is ridiculous. And unacceptable.
.
My brother had his total knee replacement surgery a week ago at Thomas Memorial Hospital part of WVU Medicine. His appointment for surgery was at 9am. We signed in, and said to wait in waiting room.
It was 2pm when he was finally called back.
Sitting and waiting in the waiting room for 5 hours is unacceptable and down right disrespectful of a persons/patients time.
I was really upset to have spoke to many people that was there waiting, and their appointments and time frame was very close to same amount of wait time.
.
But what really got me upset more than anything was watching the elderly couples there, trying to remain comfortable, and not in discomfort from sitting such long periods.
One elderly woman of 82 was hurting so bad that she had to lay down in the floor to ease her pain from sitting there waiting on a bad hip for over 5 hours.
.
My brother was Prepped for surgery and that took an hour, the time now is 3pm and surgery started shortly after, and was finished at 5pm.
He was In recovery for an hour. And they got him in a room at 6:30pm.
Total time of being there from start to finish. Got there at 8:30am because he was told to be there 30 minutes before the appointment. And was in his room at 6:30pm.
That is a total time of 10 hours.
.
5 hours in waiting room. Sitting in pain waiting.
1 hr for surgery prep.
2 hr surgery
1 hr recovery
1 hr to get him from recovery to a room.
.
Why wasn't the appointment scheduled for 1pm. ? That could had cut out 4 hours of sitting and waiting.
.
People's time is just as valuable as the hospitals and doctors. People would much rather prefer to be uncomfortable and in pain sitting around their house, then in a waiting room for 5 hours.
My daughter delivered our granddaughter here at the labor unit. We have nothing but words of praise to the entire staff of Doctors and Nurses. They were not just professional but genuinely compassionate and loving with mom and baby. THANK YOU.
ICU needs to quit causing bedsores on the patients. They give them out like it compliments their care and that's a shame. The best floor in that hospital is pulmonary floor.
Came here for my father’s open heart surgery. Doctor Groves was wonderful! As for the nurses and office staff it was a horrible experience. So much malpractice occurred leading up to the surgery, a VERY serious issue. Waited 5 hours to hear back about my father, “because they were waiting for a shift change to move him and let us see him.” WE WAITED FIVE HOURS FOR A SHIFT CHANGE. Absolutely ZERO respect for patients and their families. Doctors are FANTASTIC but office staff is horrendous.
They murdered my disabled Aunt. They told us she "had no quality of life because of her disability" and we "need to just let her go with respect" while she was in for a lung issue. We said, "we think she has something wrong with her kidneys." The doctors said, "no, no, she's just dying and you need to accept it." Her lung doctor said, "she's all better and can go home." Two weeks later she died from sepsis from a kidney infection that they refused to treat. Do NOT go here. They WILL try to kill you. She is NOT the only person we have been told to "just let go". Take the extra 5 minutes and go to a different hospital.
Although Thomas is my hospital choice for care, NOT ELECT FOR OPEN HEART SURGERY AT THOMAS HOSPITAL!!! We came for a quintuple bypass and they didn't have the right equipment to perform the surgery!!! My loved one went through pure hell for over a week waiting on the procedure, and starved and shit his guts out the day before. Apparently, they don't have all of the right tools to handle all patients that elect to have their bypass at Thomas!! They are not equipped for any and all complications that could arise during open heart surgery!! How could a hospital perform these procedures without being ready??!! They are "accredited" to perform these procedures!! How is this legal? Now, my loved one is going to have 2 hospital bills, 2 surgeon bills, 2 anesthesia bills, two laboratory bills, 2 radiology bills, 2 respiratory therapist bills, plus a critical care ambulance ride. DON'T CHOOSE THOMAS FOR YOUR HEART!!! GO TO CAMC MEMORIAL WHERE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING!!! I'm glad he had the surgeon he had. Dr. Dans is phenomenal!! He's unfortunately at the wrong hospital. I get it that they're trying to advance their capabilities and bring better cardiac care to the area. Had they been equipped, I have no doubts about Dr. Dans or the hospital. This has been an absolute nightmare for not only the patient, but also the loved ones. We are disappointed by the experience. Which is very hard for me to say because I wouldn't deliver children anywhere else except for Thomas. Thankfully, the patient had a successful heart bypass at CAMC today. Don't advertise that you can compete with the "big boys" when you can't!! There are lives at risk every time they perform this procedure due to lack of resources. Once the hospital gets fully prepared, I have no doubts in Dr. Dans and the staff at this hospital.
