Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Hospital
excellent in every way. In the ER Dr. Hardy was incredible, compassionate, attentive, available, and more.
The nursing and assisting staff was incredible..As I learned..hospitals are indeed in our lives for nursing care.
The nurses and assisting staff/respiratory/phlebotomists/dietary/volunteers/
truly anyone I came into contact with seemed
to go above and beyond to provide me and my sister every answer and accommodation needed. My incredible thanks to one and all..phoebe
Surgery on 2-23-07 I contracted a staff infection(MRSA) as did another patient who had bypass before me with the same doctor and ended up in ICU for 45 days,hospitalized for 3 months and took 1 year total to recover fron infection which left me with peripheral neuropathy. I did lose close to 200 pounds but feel that all california hospitals should be required to PUBLISH INFECTION RATES!!!!!!
In general I thought the hospital did a good job during my overnight stay. The staff is quite busy, but that's generally the case in all hospitals I'm aware of. It sometimes took a while for a nurse to come to give me additional pain medication. The rooms are very close together and unfortunately there was a patient in the next room in great pain, who kept me up all night. But I don't fault him for that, he was obviously having a lot of trouble. But it did keep me awake most of the night.
