After my mother being in this hospital for approximately three days due to a horse stepping on her foot she left with minimum treatment to her foot. No bandages or antibiotics were used to treat her foot which had oozing scars. Also the foot had swollen and could barely fit in her shoe. She left the hospital with treatment for her pinky toe, which was said to be fractured. Now it's two days later and she is in WakeMed receiving the treatment that she should have had five days ago. She was diagnosed with an infection in her foot, and the discolorization all over the foot might have hinted to the condition it was in. She also had multiple shots administered to treat the infection, along with bandages and a boot placed over the foot. She will be using krutchers for a few weeks. Overall avoid this hospital even if you think you're dying and it's close. You probably will have a better chance taking a longer drive to a hospital that cares. They do not deserve even the one star rating!!! ...read more

After having surgery at Duke in Durham the last day of Oct. 2007, my wife developed complications 5 days later. I (in our car) delivered her to JMH about 4:00 am. She was registered in just a few min. and by 4:30 brought to the back of the ER. After getting her stable, x-rays then a CT scan found issues requiring admittance. Because the surgery was done a Duke, she needed to be transfered. The bad news is Duke has (of this writing) no beds, some 38 hrs. later. The good news is, all this time I have seen first hand one of the best teams work together I have ever seen. The level of care, and concern is second to none. I have had no better ER experience, and can't think how it could be better. Kudos! ...read more
