My sweet sister was treated at Raleigh Gen Hospital and Daniels Nursing home. She had been in and out of hospital for dif' reasons.( pneumonia, and stroke 3 yrs ago). Her second bout with pneumonia she was sent to hospital again ( this was prob a yr apart)..Then trips bk forth to WVU Hospital to ck her knee replacement surgery progress she has prior. Anyway..when she became ill again this past yr with Pneumonia again.Raleigh Gen treated her aggressively with strong antibiiotics...( breaking down her immune system) etc. She got worse/worse with diarrhea, weakness, etc. She was then diagnosed with CDFF...but after 2 weeks released from Raleigh Gen to Daniels nursing home. MY POINT::: WE WERE MADE to wear gloves, and gowns..as CDFF is highly contagious. However Dr's Nurses, and some CPA's would come in with NO gloves, or gowns..and they allowed my sis to be in a room with another patient that was exposed. I ask you WHY DO DRS AND STAFF DEMAND VISITORS/FAMILY TO WEAR PREVENTIVE APPAREL CLOTHING BUT THEY DIDN'T DICTATE THE EXAMPLE..? WHY? AND THEY WONDER WHY CDFF IS KILLING SO MANY PEOPLE???? I WAS THERE EVERY DAY..AND I LITERALLY WATCHED ( HORRIFIED) MY SWEET , WONDERFUL SISTER STARVE TO DEATH WITH CDFF...AND PRAY TO GO NO ONE ELSE CONTACTED IT BECAUSE OF DR'S AND NURSES, STAFF NEGLECT TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS SOMETHING THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO CRACK DOWN ON ASAP..OTHERWISE OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE AND LOSE LOVED ONES...TY

The department needs to educate employees in the restaurants in raleigh county that the gloves they are wearing are( not to protect there hands !) but to( protect me from the employees hands) i have seen them adjust there hair, wipe there face, handle money,ect. and then handle the food. is this not included in the food handlers class ? the inspector need to check for violations and stop this.

Called to check on getting COVID-19 booster and was told to call back in 3 days. Called back in 3 days and whoever answered mistakenly thought she put me on hold while she checked with someone else. Based on the conversation I overheard, whoever is in charge of that office has a hell of a lot of room for improvement. Seemed to be total contempt for the people they are supposed to serve.
