I had a very pleasant stay. All of the staff was very friendly and attentive and I felt that they took care of my needs in a timely manner. This hospital deals with traumas and the trauma helicopter was a litle loud during the night but the pain medication helped me sleep through most of it. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Atlanta Medical Center.
I have been in hospitals that are tip top. A+ but AMC is not one of them. They have nursing staff that need to be ashamed of themselves. But they did have a couple of very wonderful people. TWO that is only two people out of the whole time that I was there and my husband, for we both had our wls surgery there and we could only find two staff memebers that were good at there jobs. Very sad if you ask me!
The staff was really great at getting me pain meds when I asked for it..they would come in just to check on me...and I found that the male nurses helped me more than the females..(hint) pray for a male nurse
The Atlanta Medical Center has a great staff. (especially the 8th floor) The nurses (men and women) are so nice and acommadating to your needs. I felt very safe and confident that if anything were to happen to me, that I was in good hands.
Basicly I felt asthough I was taking care of myself, although the nurse(s) came in to check the urine output, none attempted to empty the bowl, I attemted to but was in pain, so I had to buzz a nurse for her to come emty it(took 2 1/2 hrs). My IV bag ran out of fluid around 3am and the bell was going off constanly, I buzzed the nurses station 3x's, when the nurse finally came 2 hrs later she apologized and attempted to hug me by throwing her body weight over my abdominal area, my immediate reaction was to push her off of me. IT WAS SIMPLY HORRIBLE.....When my Dr. came, that's when the nurses started coming in and out of the room checking my vitals and being accomodating, I said to myself, ain't this a b%*#@!!!! whereas the 2 days I was there, they checked my vitals maybe 2x's. Mind you it was 2 days after surgery, for lunch they brung me cheese broccoli soup...GO FIGURE. I scored the hospital good in the area of letting visitors in to see me because my family did most of the caregiving while I was there in terms of making sure the urine bowl was emty, getting ice, informing the nurse that the IV bag was out of fluid, etc..., I saw them(my family) more than I had seen a nurse the whole time I was there, except when my Dr. came to visit, and that's when they were perpitrating asthough they were accomodating me.
The hospital was very informative and supportive. The nurses and other staff on that floor were all trained especially for bariatric patients. They were kind and understanding. They even keep me clean and my sheets were changed everyday. God bless AMC.
From pre-op all the way until I was discharged from surgery, everyone was polite. When I asked for ice chips, I didn't get any type of attitude from the nurses as long as it was time for them. They understood how we were feeling and how important something as silly as ice chips meant to us patients.
