Pennsylvania Hospital

"While I had lots of attention from doctors, some of the nursing staff left a lot to be desired. It took over 24 hours for me to get my personal items and when I asked, no one seemed to know what I was talking about. Docs wrote orders and it took hours for the nurses to carry them out. And as a nurse myself, I always tell a person simple things---like their room number when they first get to my floor. No one offered to help me ambulate--I did it myself. And my big complaint was that I did not get to my room after surgery until 10:30 PM and they had my pain meds set up on a IV where I had to push the button every 10 minutes to get meds. Seems to me that all would know that I would need pain meds through the night! Did not sleep one night during my 4 day stay."

"I had my initial consult with Dr. Wernsing on August 25th. He talked to 5 of us as a group first and then saw us individually. He sounded knowledgable, smiled, but seemed to be rushing around from room to room. To soon for my real opinion---this is just my first impression. More to come later."
