Bothwell Regional Health Center Hospital
I felt the surgery was great, the nurses were not. I knew going in that I was a "lightweight", but at every turn, I received comments from the nursing staff about how I didn't need this surgery and that I was the smallest patient ever bypassed at this facility. They were slow to respond to calls and even slower to respond to needs...the night nurses the first night were great, I can't remember all their names, but Casey sticks out. I really appreciated her. Overall, not surprised about the care, but definitely not impressed!
I have not had surgery yet, but I am having surgery in Dec.2004. I am unable to stand which poses a big problem at most places I have to go. I was very impressed with Bothwell Hospital, they treated me with the upmost respect and concern. The pre-op testing nurses and technicians where so friendly and eager to make me comfortable. 12-10-04 I am now 4 daays post-op and my experience at Bothwell was wonderful!!!!!!!
Well, I felt that I had WONDERFUL care in the CCU, but it went downhill fast when I went to the main recovery floor. I used the call button (I was a fall hazard) and NO ONE came to help me to the restroom. So here I was, hours out of the CCU, dragging my IV pole, trying to use a walker and get to the bathroom. I even pulled the emergency pull in the bathroom and no one every came. Finally the PT people came to take me and I said I needed a nurse, they went back and told the nurses who STILL never came. This was just ONE of the bad experiences I had up there.
