Dr. Katon M Floyd, MD

This doctor and accompanying nurse were not what we expected out of Sarasota Memorial Hospital. The nurse barely made an appearance and the doctor paced the hallway, with little interaction with my husband. It was only a severed pinky, but 6 1/2 hours was unnecessary. Doctor disappeared after he couldn’t stop the bleeding, when all he had to do was cotterize it. We had to find the nurse who wasn’t aware drug test was done an hour prior, so discharge paperwork was extremely delayed. Had to tell doctor employee required drug test due to workman’s comp., and specialist had to explain it to Dr Floyd. We realize they have other patients that take priority, but we were not noticed at all. I flagged someone down in the hall to get a urinal for my husband to go to the bathroom, which I assisted, due to no staff checked on his needs. Not sure of the name of the nice gentleman who found the urinal in the supply cabinet, but he was a great help.

He sure needs to work on his bedside manner and think before he opens his mouth. He left my husband very anxious by telling him they were going to get an X-ray to see if their was cancer! Then he leaves the room and 4 hours later the results say no meanwhile my husband was a nervous wreck
