"The only real complaint was that the
"transport team" moving me from SICU
to reg ward first came in with a big wheelchair. that would have been fine but there was apparently a bed shortage on the ward I was going to and at the
last minute they needed to move me and the bariatric bed I was in: OK fine:
until the bed would not fit out the icu door or onto the elevator: thru cramped
and sharp cornered hallways. To get
the bed on the elevator they literally had
to remove two large plastic boxes hanging on the end of the bed: So
where do they put the boxes? On the bed
between me and the siderails. Here I was 24 hours out of surgury being wheeled in a bed hitting every possible
obstacle in the way. I kept saying get me the chair or at least let me get off: I will walk. When we finally got to the right
ward the bed would not go thru the door.
It took nearly an hour to be moved down 1 level of the hospital. I never did find out exactly what was going on. They
were too busy discussing ways of getting
the damn bed moved. Very poorly organized move."
"First impression was very good. Myrnmother went to the information seminar withrnme and we were both impressed. He seems a bit quiet at first.rnrnThe office staff is fantastic. They arernvery pleasant and helpful.rnrnSurgury pros and cons were covered atrnthe information seminar. They truly pullrnno punches. "
