Tampa General Hospital Brooksville - Emergency Room - Brooksville (FL)

1 /5 Ash Leigh: I went to the ER from work after being told to do so by my doctor. I was having horrible pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Recently, I had an IUD placed so there was some worry of an ectopic pregnancy. My father met me there so I would not be alone as my boyfriend was working. We sat there quietly talking, but my head was pounding. I asked for some Tylenol. The nurse came back with Haldol and Benadryl. I worked in hospitals and my boyfriend is a doctor so I have some medical knowledge. Enough to know that Haldol is an antipsychotic that was regularly given to extremely unruly patients. I thought it was weird but decided he had a medical degree and I didn’t so I wouldn’t argue. This was a mistake. The pain got worse despite the heavy sedative keeping me unconscious which I was told my pain couldn’t be that bad because I was sleepy… I was then misdiagnosed by the ER doctor. Turns out my labs didn’t show that at all. So either he didn’t wait for my labs before releasing me or he didn’t bother to read them. I read them with my primary care doctor and learned he did absolutely everything wrong. Oh and worse, I’m allergic to Haldol. So I was in pain and bed ridden with shakes for three days for a medication I should have never been given in the first place. Now, I’m left with a big bill and the knowledge to never let this facility touch me again.

1 /5 Elisa Cuba: I don’t know about this hospital. My boyfriend went cause he got some wood in his foot & he got it out & I cleaned it at home cause it was about & half inch in but a couple of days later the pain & his foot was swollen. They did a xray & sent him home with antibiotic just in case there was an infection. His foot was red he is latin & dark skin so to see red that’s a sign of infection & I’m not a nurse. I know cause I work with med mal lawyers & seen a lot & deal with a lot of docs. Well they said no infection but sent him with it like I said just in case. Him being a Marine & had infections before he had a feeling it was infected. Well he got home 2 days later he was in pain & he can handle pain he had brain surgery before, knee etc. So he went back to the hospital & they admitted him asap & had to get IV & given antibiotics thru the IV he was kept so far 3 days. They did a cat-scan & no foreign objects. All over a piece of wood nothing huge.

5 /5 Sunshine Daydream: Very attentive staff, especially my nurse, Brittany. She made me feel so comfortable and made sure I had everything I needed. The DR had great bedside manner and all the techs I encountered were extremely nice. I’ve been to this ER a couple times and this was the best visit yet. I was overwhelmed with emotion trying to explain why I was there and the entire staff from check in to check out were very nice and understanding.

1 /5 daniel torony: Don’t go here very bad service This was the second very bad experience I had in this ER the first time I developed a giant bruise on my wast it was about 10 by 24 inches wide I was told by a nurse after telling the doctor the concerns and having a mri there were no problems and was being discharged I was never told the cause other than possibly caused by caugh. Now the really bad one I’m 78 I fell of a ladder at about 7 ft high I went to the ER the next day because of heavy badly sprained ankle type pain after an mri I never saw the doctor again was told by the nurse no broken bones or serious injuries I had asker for something to take care of the serious ankle type pain and told take Tylenol a caring doctor would have prescribed something I did do some walking which helped some but it was painful. WORST HOSPITAL I EVER BEEN TO I would like peace to know that this review was NOT about TGH but brevea the had just taken over brevets hospitals and the reviews were immediately checked to TGH

1 /5 Corey Hall: Came into the hospital because the past 3 days Ive been puking, feeling heavy on my chest, hard breathing. Today my body started getting numb from my feet to my hand spreading everywhere. Pain in my stomach. I come into ER and walked up and down saying hello out loud not yelling. Checked side door to registration it was locked. No one. Not a single worker present in the ER. I sat at the first desk and still no one came. I had to yell for someone to even notice Im there. About 10 workers can come out together but cant keep a single person at the entrance to ER. Staff comes out treating me like Im the issue when they arent posted where they should be. I didnt just come in screaming I came in looked for someone and called out hello a few times before I started yelling. Then to have staff treat me poorly because no one was present is wrong. 1 staff member says they are understaffed (thats not my issue nor the issue of any patient and shouldnt be used ever as an excuse that problem to deal with thats the hospitals) another staff member says they arent understaffed its just something was going on...I didnt think registration workers typically respond to emergencies but all staffSo then Im being lied to by one of the staff members? Is it common for hospital employees to lie to their patients? Should still have a staff member at ER even if its just an officer or someone to greet it should NEVER empty. No one should ever have to yell to get attention or help in the ER.
