| Comments: |
If you are overweight and end up in the Hospital GW Hosp. is where you will be treated with respect, sensitivity, understanding as well as being equipped for overwieght patients. I was so comfortable in my bed, in my chair in my room, in the wheel chairs and in my gown. This is the first hospital that took care of my hygene needs. Most hospitals either don't help or don't help effectively. |

very busy, not accommodating, I spent the first night in ICU with a male patient next to me. I spent 12 hrs up in the chair, with the nurse telling me I had too. Moved me out of ICU at 3am, Did not have a call light fo rthe nurse for 8 hrs, unable to reach it, passing nurse in hallway was able to see me struggle to get some help. |
