Multi Security: Good Privacy: Good Pain Medication: Excellent
Quiet: Poor Visiting: Good Staff Responsive: Poor

How Selected: It was the hospital Dr. Posner uses for bariatric surgery

Comments: My response to receive my pain medication was good except for the time the nurse was about to end her shift and I needed a pain shot. She gave it to me so fast I was dizzy and felt nausated for a while. That was the only thing that would have gave me that reaction according to the next nurse on duty, The bright lights in the hall stayed on all night and it was very noisy.
