3 /5 Bob Hughes: It seems to be an older facility. Ceiling tiles near to falling out. Baseboard falling off the walls. Seems like a bit of indifference prevalent throughout the building has caused an attitude of " well good enough" . Staff seems happy to find problems, but not solutions. One simple example: I hadnt eaten in 3 days and was mighty hungry. Nurses told me theyd get me a sandwich. Surgeon said no, liquid diet only. Ok, I get that, but I needed SOMETHING. After a back and forth and saying I would leave if I didnt get food, the nurse said she could only give me jello, or pudding. I immediately responded that it qualifies as food! After a few jello and pudding cups, I was right as rain. It just didnt seem like it needed to be that difficult. It ended up taking an hour total. Very kind and sweet nurse, but definitely an air of checking boxes, but not thinking outside of one. Creatively solving issues not a strong suit in this facility. I think they forgot that theres always areas to improve. Not just the Jell-O.
Also was quite dissatisfied with pain management. At 4 am I was getting morphine and other strong painkillers, but it ended there
At 9: am I was released and told I could just take Tylenol
It didnt cut the mustard! Pain ran away with me several times in the following days. I had abdominal surgery with 4 incisions, and I feel they shouldve known better. Fortunately/unfortunately I had a knee replaced a couple of months before and that surgeon gave me the proper medication and I had enough to get me through. Im a week and a half out now and still have quite a lot of pain. No follow up asking how Im tolerating it.
