I pray you all get sued I pray you get shut down
You all discharge a person with heart failure and blood clots also having his mother escorted out by security for what trying to be a mother and looking out for her kid trying to get her kid the help he needs. I hope everyone reads this and never goes to this hospital it’s garbage, nasty and I’m not understanding how you all sleep at night knowing you discharged a kid with heart failure and blood clots the people involved should be fired and never allowed to work in the medical field again

Horrible horrible treatment
I would rate this hospital 0 stars. Years ago this was a great hospital but not anymore. Zero communication, nobody knows what’s going on. Place is dirty, they don’t change bedding, don’t allow showers. High staff turn over. All around just bad pt care. Was told I was being discharged on two antibiotics but the rest of my health team was not given the memo. Nobody has come in to talk to me about this.

I really hope no one goes through what I did at Albany Medical Center
I had my firstborn at Albany Med where I was a RN working in L and D. I was 40 weeks into my pregnancy when I woke up to some mild contractions and what I thought was my water leaking. Except when I went to the bathroom, I discovered it was blood. I then passed a large clot. Scared, I called my Ob and told him what happened before heading to the hospital. RESIDENT #1 said I was in early labor and needed to go home. I stopped her from leaving and told her that I came because of bleeding, not labor. She then said this it was only a lot of bloody show. I requested an U/S, she said it wasn’t necessary and was sent home. I saw my Ob two days later. Upon examining me, he started me bleeding again. He asked why didn’t I questioned this at the hospital. I said, “I did, did you?” This time I admitted to the hospital. I requested an U/S again. RESIDENT #2 said I already had one at my first visit. I explained did not and I discovered that the first resident had copied the results from an earlier one performed during my pregnancy. After doing the U/S, she went to examine me. I was then transferred to the antepartum high risk floor. That night I went into labor and the bleeding picked up. REDIDENT #3 was sent in to examine me. This time, I bled out and was rushed back for a C/section. Because of the bleeding, I wasn’t a candidate for an epidural and had to be put to sleep. Nor was there any time for my husband to join me. When I woke up in the recovery room I was in excruciating pain from an incision that stretched hip to hip, shaking violently, nauseous, and still bleeding. In addition to IV Pitocin I had running, I was started on serial methergine injections. Albany Med should read their playbook on how a hospital should care their patients. It is my sincere wish they do.

Albany Med was hazardous to my health the entire eleven days I spent there
If there were a number offered for review/rating of Albany Med lower than one I would definitely and with both full confidence and experience award it to this so-called ‘medical’ establishment. In fact Albany Med was hazardous to my health the entire eleven days I spent there as a patient with a rare form of pneumonia. Rude and untrained staff, incompetent doctors who frequently contradicted each other, food that rated less than prison fare, 20-30 minute wait for assistance, etc. The only bright spot of my stay was the dedication and professionalism of the nursing staff. They were terrific. Avoid this ‘hospital’ if you value your health!!!

The ICU is seriously lacking in satisfactory staff
There is absolutely zero bedside manner to some of these people, the ones that tried to show a personality are actually condescending to the patients and treat them like children. Is that really necessary? Don’t you think they’re miserable because they’re up in age and they’re in a hospital? To treat them like children, speak to them in a condescending manner, and then look at the family members like they’re complaining about nothing? This place is horrible. You’ll get maybe one person in the department, if you’re lucky two, That actually care about the patient and treat them like a human being. People wonder why the medical industry has a bad reputation in this country. There’s a reason for it.

It smelled like vomit, pee and feet and was dirty
My dad was in the er for chest pains and they said he’s priority my mom sat there for four hours in the waiting watching all the homeless people get taken care of before my father on top of being there for four hours and nothing, I am very disappointed and disgusted by how waiting four plus hours is considered priority. my mom ended up taking my father to Hudson where it was clean and they saw someone within two hours and started having testing done and in a room.

Patient care is a joke
Emergency room experience with my wife was wholly unprofessional, poorly organized, and staffed with inadequately trained and supervised staff. If you have any choice in the matter, go elsewhere.
