If you have a life-threatening condition, call an ambulance.  If you show up at the ER, you will surely die before anyone gets up off their lazy butts to assist.   

In the wee hours of Feb 14, I carried my wife, an RN of over 40 years, into the ER.  Nobody offered to help.  Nobody even glanced at us!  My wife was gasping for her next breath, and was losing feeling in her extremities.  She could not even feel her lips .....she and I were afraid that she was dying.  The ER admissions folks?  The guy looked comatose, and never spoke or looked our direction.  The female, as I am trying to ensure that my wife will not slide out of her chair, snaps, "If you WANT her to be seen, we'll need her information!"
I turned to look, unsure that the woman is even addressing us, since she is facing 60 degrees in the other direction.  I said, "My wife cannot breathe!  We are hear for HELP!"
She LAUGHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!  I was raised to never strike a woman, and I've never had an urge to do so until encountering this disgusting excuse for a human being. SURELY, Tuomey can find a random homeless person with more human compassion and skills than this woman.  If my wife had needed an epi pen or any urgent measures to counter an allergic reaction, dilate blood vessels, whatever, she would be dead or unconscious before anyone would attend to her in this ER.    Once you finally reach the trained healthcare personnel, you will be okay.....in a past experience with my daughter, that took 9 hours....we were in a room, post-triage, with her in extreme pain, and had not seen a physician after 9 hours!  At any rate, last night, the radiology folks were caring and wonderful folks, as was the pulmonary nurse.  The doctor was good, too.  The folks up front need to find a job for which they'd be better suited --- torturing animals or something.   I was totally shocked and disgusted by their behavior!

My first experience at Tuomey this morning for same day surgery.  An absolutely impressive bunch of folk.  I could not not believe how comforting and professional they were.  I felt at ease from the time I signed in until the procedure was over.  I only wish I could remember specific names but not necessary when all had the same pleasant attitude.  I was one scared puppy facing surgery.  Dr Crabbe also had the same pleasant and comforting ease about him.  I just want to extend a heart felt thanks to them all.  Patient care appears to be a goal and it was accompished with me.  Much love to them all and keep up the great work.

I find it really funny how the so called owner can respond to a 5 star rated comment. But has no comment for the people who has issues with this horrible place called a hospital!!!!

If I Could Give This Place 0 Stars I Would. Tuomey Should Be Shut Down Immediately ‼️ The Employees There Are Very Rude & Nasty ‼️ A Elderly Lady Been Sitting In Tuomey Since 7:30 Am Waiting To Be Seen & Didnt Get Called Until Almost 12 That Night ‼️ Ridiculous Hospital & Ridiculous Employees. If You Have A Chance To Go To Florence Or Columbia Goooo Do Not Go To Tuomey

This hospital is a disgrace. 
My 73 year old mother was admitted to Tuomey for anemia, dehydration and lesions on her liver. First , a majority of the nurses are very unprofessional. All I heard when I was there was whining about how hectic their day was and how they can’t wait to go home. One nurse complained to my mother about the other patients she had. I mean, who does that? I witnessed another patient fall down and you could hear all of the nurses at the nurses station talking about it and laughing. The bathroom in my mothers room smelled like urine and the paint on the wall was coming off. One morning my mother was served a tray of food for breakfast, she opened her carton of milk and proceeded to pour some in her coffee only to have it coming out in chunks. The damn milk was curdled. My mother told the nurse about it and she didn’t really seem to care. Oh, I forgot to mention the moldy bread on the sandwich that was served to my mother for lunch one day. How is this acceptable? The two “specialists” as they called themselves in the radiology department are a joke. They were cursing, laughing and whispering to each other and one was messing around on her cell phone. I could go on and on about this horrible place, like the reception lady in the ER who stuck my mother in a hallway because she said she was going to be in the way with her wheelchair. She then told my mother that they didn’t have a bed for her and she could go home and they would call her when one became available. First of all, my mother was transported there by ambulance from her doctors office. So isn’t it obvious that her doctor didn’t want her going home?  This place is scary and one should never stay there alone if you have to be admitted. It hasn’t gotten any better since Palmetto Health took it over either. They need to hire quality people who take pride in their job, are respectful and have compassion for their patients. I will give credit to the transporters. Every single one of them were respectful, caring and helpful. Also, there is one tech who was very polite, showed concern and was just an overall pleasant person. Her name is Jennifer. This hospital needs more people like her.
