California Pacific Medical Center (COE) Hospital


i had a great view in a private room. they brought in a cot for my mom to stay the first night, and she could have stayed other nights if she wanted to. the nurses were great for the most part. i got bloated with edema due to my kidneys shutting down and i couldnt move very well. i had problems wiping myself after going potty and one of the nurses balked whenever i would ask for help. she kept telling me i need to learn how to do it myself. asked her to teach me then, but she would just give me some half-assed answer showing me how "other" patients do it, but i still couldnt bend or reach the way she was showing me. the other nurses were great about it. the control on the bed was broken as far as the tv was concerned so the repair people immediately brought me a remote control for the tv. one of the nurses even let me sneak onto the computer in the middle of the night so i could update my profile and let everybody know how i was doing. they gave me anything i asked for basically and were quick to get me my pain meds whenever i asked for them, or tell me how much longer i had to wait until it was time to have them again which was never more than a half hour. they were really great! i was also very confidant in their skills.

I would recommed them to anyone! They were great. They are use to overweight patients & were sensitive to the needs we have. I felt that the hospital was state of the art & was well equiped to handle any medical emergency. They completely respected that I was a Jehovah's Witness and gave me no fight on the blood issue.
