Negative Experiences at St. Joseph Hospital
Lack of Proper Care and Attention
The hospital has been criticized for its lack of proper care and attention to patients' needs. One reviewer's wife was repeatedly sent home without a proper diagnosis, only to return to the hospital with a worsened condition. She was eventually diagnosed with a stomach issue and contracted CDIF from the hospital. The hospital's lack of attention to her condition led to further complications, including a delay in surgery.
Denial of Pain Relief and Disrespectful Treatment
Another reviewer was denied pain relief and was treated disrespectfully by hospital staff. They were questioned about their mental health and treated like an addict. The reviewer was also overheard by hospital staff making derogatory comments about homeless people.
Concerns about Hospital Staff
The reviewers expressed concerns about the hospital staff's attitude and behavior towards patients. They were seen as uncaring and dismissive of patients' needs.
Food Review: A Hidden Gem
On a positive note, the St. Joseph's Charlton Cafe has been praised for its excellent food and service. The reviewer enjoyed the daily specials, hand-tossed salads, and sweet grill options. The cashiers were also commended for their friendly service.
