  I had my baby here on 7-22. Right from the very start the care and bedside manner was horrible. I was scheduled for an induction on 7-21 at 8am. I got there and waited 2 hrs for a room then another 9 hrs for them to actually start the induction bc they were understaffed and hit with several emergency csections. Dr. Hill delivered my baby who was perfect n healthy. I was discharged the next day. Went in to see Dr Leah conboy on the 25th for newborn appt n was readmitted due to high jaundice levels. While undergoing intensive triple phototherapy my baby was not given fluids and became dehydrated which was never addressed n was mostly so lethargic she was limp and almost lifeless. From there she developed pustules on her elbow resembling staph infection and I had to DEMAND it be tested. Twice. We were discharged that day even tho my baby's bilirubin had risen back up twice, to return the following morning for bilirubin retests. Her levels had risen again back up to 15.6 from 14.8 the previous day but we were sent home anyway. I received a call a few minutes later that the pustules came back as staph orius (mssa) and they had to transport my daughter immediately to a bigger hospital bc they lacked the equipment and pediatric unit to care for her at that point. (We spent the few days previous back on maternity for her phototherapy). I chose Hurley hospital in Flint bc I'm familiar with the hospital and trust the care she would be given there. It took them 5 hrs to finally send us out via ambulance on a 4 hr trip. When we got to Hurley she was still so jaundiced the attending Dr could not believe they discharged her in the first place! She was immediately put back under phototherapy. Alpena hospital is a joke. Dr conboy and Dr Amin's poor calls and bad judgement could've cost my baby long term health deficits if not her life! I will never return to that hospital and am contacting a lawyer!
