Yes, we should be heard. First, get rid of the entire staff and start over (as in local doctors and insensitive nurses and aides), Second several pediatric physicians and beds for pediatrics, also equipment for use for pediatrics, Third, a qualified amount of physicians in all fields other than the good old boys of Long Beach. Fourth, a greater housekeeping department, complete with mops, dust mops, dusting cloths and sanitary cleaners. And finally, enough linens to sustain the hospital on a daily basis that are clean and not JUST ENOUGH. And the most important thing is that the staff NOT be allowed to discuss patients in public places or AT ALL other than to family of the patients, WITH PERMISSION! The HIPPA LAW is VERY MUCH ALIVE. We need great care in LB, NOT the substandard care we were receiving before SANDY. We have a community of young AND old, and all in between. They ALL should get good quality care. The old LBMH was a geriatric facility at best, with substandard care for others. The NEW LBMH should be for everyone and have great qualified doctors from other communities willing to come here. Not avoid us because of the bad reputation that preceeds it. So, now that you know some of the needs, get on it and see what you can do.
