Hello,
I had surgery March 13, 2012 At University hospital. I had not been to this hospital before, and this was my first visit. I had heard only wonderful, great things about this hospital. I had to stay 3 nights, I was on the transplant floor. I had a wonderful doctor and the nurses i thought were top notch. But there was a problem. The sanitary issue with the hospital, from the first time I walked into the cancer pavilion entering on the
main floor, using the rest room, I was quite appalled at the filth in the restroom. It was dirty, and I thought this should not be like this, It was eleven in the morning.
But what really bothered me was the room I stayed in. The housekeepers did nothing at all, during my 3 night stay there except dump the trash can and throw some towels into the bathroom, They never cleaned one thing. My room had pee on the floor also blood droplets, the bathroom reaked of pee. The lady I shared the room with said she had a yellow bucket on the tray stand next to her bed that had her urine in it, and it took them 3 days to get rid of that. There were syringe needles on the floor by my bed. The windows were filthy and also had a residue of liquid on them. To tell you the truth the cleanliness of this hospital was really sub standard, I could hardly stand to even walk on the floor, even with my socks on.I really was shocked, I have been in quite a few hospitals' in colorado and this hospital, I question if I would go back, due to the unsanitary conditions. Really disappointed. All though they have those hand .sanitizers every where, they really need to step up there game.
