I found the nurses and doctors to be professional, caring, and patient. The majority of the corpsman were polite and helpful, but, unfortunately I had a corpsman one evening who was flippant, rude, and uncaring. He would not walk close to me when I was wobbly and was just rude! 2 days post op and he made a statement about not being sure that HE would have trouble walking with the pain. Like most hospitals, sleep is almost impossible. The staff is usually making noise out in the hall and getting vitals taken every few hours isnt helpful. Other than the safety issue (falling) the hospital experience was what I expected it to be. *One other note......Anesthesiology was FANTASTIC! Very caring. Very professional. |

I LOVE THAT HOSPITAL! The nurses were always their for me when I needed my pain medication or when I needed help walking around the ward. The staff was so wonderful! They'd tend to my every need and quick at that.! I'd give that hospital an 11 out of 10. It was super clean and the staff was there pronto when I needed something. Their all so sweet. I loved my 2 1/2 day stay at that hospital! |
