St. Luke's Medical Center (COE)
"My hospital stay wasn't too bad, there were a handful of things that made it bad. I had an older nurse, who was just downright RUDE!! When I needed help getting unattached from all my tubes and leg cuffs to go to the bathroom, it took 15 minutes for someone to come, and that was after my roomie got tired of me waiting. By the time the nurse came in she asked me if I could disconnect the tube because her hands were greasy! When my roomie and I were having trouble cleaning up after using the restroom(it's kinda hard to bend over at the waist), we asked a nurse if she could call and ask ob/gyn for squeeze bottles, so we could clean and rinse ourselves off. She brought us some kind of foaming soap, that did not do the job we wanted,and then I was charged over $100.00 for that bottle. Last but not least, when an orderly had to wheel me over to get another upper GI test(to make sure there were no leaks before my NG tube came out) he was practically running and bumped right into the side of the elevator. It was ok I told him, accidents happen, right? This also happened to my roomie, and another friend of ours, with the SAME orderly!! Now, the rest of the nurses and staff at the hospital were great! There's an overnight nurse with long blonde hair worn in a ponytail, young, and very pretty who was AWESOME! I can't remember her name(but email for the older mean nurse's name, and I'll tell you!)"

"I had my five minute consultation with Dr. Juarez. My appt. was for 3:10. Didn't see him until about 3:45. He was very abrubt. Made me feel like he was rushing through the consultation. The first thing he said to me was "You're a little thing." Then he checked my BMI, and said "You're way up there!". Asked me which surgery I wanted. When I told him laproscopic rny, he said that might be difficult because I am short. I've read bad things about his office people, but I thought they were very nice. They said they were sending out my paperwork. I hope that means very soon. They also told me it takes about 4-6 weeks of waiting for approval, but it could take shorter. I'm not sure how I would rate him. I will definately keep my posts updated about him. All in all, I liked him. He is a very busy man, and the office was full. That could be why I felt like he was rushing me."
