Harper Hospital (Cori Center) Hospital


I don't think the hospital should advertise how much better they have improved if they have not really done it. How bad was it before? I did not see as much professionalism as I would have expected from a hospital that is advervising how much they have improved. At Beaumont if a patient is going for testing on a strecherany staff members must exit the evavator and wait for another elavator. I told the nurse before I went in for surgery that I had to go to the bathroom, she made me wait 20 minutes.Then my nurse went on break and the covering nurse nerve checked on my while I was waiting for surgery. The worse thing was when I went in for pre-surgical testing the tech did not put the electrodes on properly so it made my EKG come out abnormal, to say the least I was a little pissed off when my surgery was rescheduled due to their mistake.

Dr. Wood and his surgical team were wonderful. The staff at CORI are the same. I would recommend them to anyone.
The only reason I address the issue with the pain meds is because I addressed my allergic reaction to the medications used in the epidural before surgery with the Anesthesiologist and still came out of surgery with the same results. I had to wait hours for them to put me on the right type of post op pain medication. So, my advice is, if you know you are allergic to a certain medication be your own advocate and demand that they hear you when you say you cannot tolerate certain drugs.

The staff was excellent at sticking me with needles, I didn't feel the pain of the epidural, IV, or any blood withdraws. The biggest complaint I have is the day shift nurse I had, she didn't want to help me, it took her over 45 minutes to respond to my call, if she came at all. There was also no trapese above my bed and I was told there were none available yet I'm on a baratric floor that does stomach surgeries????
