Shawnee Mission Medical Center
"To start off with, the hospital gown I was given was to small in the arms, and didnt wrap around completely around me, and when I asked to go to the bathroom and mentioned the gown was to small, I was told to wrap the sheet around me, and walk past several patients who were also waiting in the out-patient surgery waiting area. That was embarrassing. I felt that the nurse I had didnt understand the needs of over-weight patients. After surgery, while I was still under the after-effects of the anasthesia, I told the nurse I was very nauseous and was having dry heaves. Her response "You need to get dressed and go home" After repeating to her that I was very sick to my stomach and the heaves were causing excrutiating pain, she again told me to get dressed and go home, without even offering any kind of anti-nausea med or conferring with my Doctor. I was still having very painful dry heaves as I was being pushed out the front door. Talk about your assembly line hospital!! I hope I never have reason to utilize SMMC again, even if I have to go out-of-network with my insurance!! "
