User Reviews for Tampa General Hospital

I would rather die than be a patient at Tampa General Hospital. As an employee of this hospital I worked around incompetence. They basically have brand new nurses at this hospital that don't know what they are doing. There is so much incompetence at this hospital that I will not even say anything for fear of retribution. I told every person that I know personally that if it is a matter of life and death and the only hospital that is available is Tampa General Hospital...let me die.

I think Tampa General is one of the best hospitals in the area in many capacities. I have two doctors here that I visit frequently. However, DO NOT go to this ER if you have an emergency...unless you are in near fatal condition. I recently brought my fiance here because it is literally 2 minutes from where we live. He ruptured his achilles during a basketball game and were there for 12 hours. After exactly 8 hours, and my complaining that he was swelling and in severe pain and that we had been waiting for a full workday, they finally admitted us to a room where we waited another 2 hours to be seen by a doctor. Once the doctor saw us, it took an hour to get Motrin, x-rays, and a cast. We arrived at 8:45pm and arrived home at 8:45am. Granted, his injury was not as critical as say, a heart attack, however, we were treated rudely at the front desk by a few people and my fiance was not offered so much as ice or any pain medication, and again, we were in the main waiting room for 8 hours. I have heard multiple people tell me that I should not have taken him there. Though the care and facilities seem adequate, the fact that nobody bothered to even check on him the entire time we were sitting there I felt, was unacceptable.

i am a travel rn, i was giving the opportunity for an assignment in the vicu. it has been the most pleasant assignment yet. Kelly cares about her staff and is sincere in giving top quality care of the patients. the patients are always one to one nursing care if pt care warrants, otherwise the patient care is 2 patients to one nurse. the standards are set high to give the best quality care. the employees are treated with autonomy and respected for the knowledge and and skills. i loved it there and could not say enough good about TGH.

Dear Friends, My name is Kimberly Oglesby and I was employed at the Tampa General Hospital September 5,2000. I sustained 2 on the job injuries, witnessed and reported patient abuse, and was then denied medical treatment, slandered, black listed and illegally terminated. I totaled my Honda September 19, 2007 and was taken to St. Josephs Hospital whwere I was subjected to abuse at St. Josephs Hospital because Dixie bennett, a LPN I reported at TGH just so happens to now be employed at the Health Care facility. I wrote more about this in a review about St. Josephs Hospital. My conscious is clean--I can tell you what i saw happpen to patients while I worked there and what they did to me but you'll have to decide for yourselves. --Kimberly Oglesby
