Easton Hospital Hospital
My room unfortunetly was supposed to be private and was NOT!!! And right next to the geriatric patients to boot. There were two huge doors right outside my room where all the staff constantly went in and out without regard to us patients as the slammed the door shut with every single opening and closing. Very Very noisy. No regard for the just out of surgery patient whatsoever. Screaming "dimentia" patients literally for hours on end and also naked "dimentia" patients roaming the halls also. This was a fact and not something I dreampt up. No one ever came to offer me assistance in any way shape or form except for Mandy and Dr. Koren themselves. If I needed ANYTHING I had to ask and then it was like I was being a bother to most of the nursing staff. A handfull were friendly and accomodating, but other then that I would say I would rate the overall help as POOR!!!
This is my 2nd time staying in this hospital.. First time was when I gave birth back in 99.. Some of the OB nurses are nice but the one night time nurse was a real witch since I was obese.. The 2nd time I was at this hospital for my WLS and the nurses and staff were all very nice.. I just feel that they need to get some bigger stronger nurses to be working with obese people.. If it wasnt for my hubby staying with me day and night I dont think they wouldve been able to get my 386 lb body out of bed.. Brian the night shift RN was great, funny, caring and answered calls fast!!
Easton Hospital, the staff---just everyone that I have come into contact with. From Dr. Koren and Mandy who I already knew was a blessing to the vallet parking attendant, the cleaning personel, the nurses on the bariatric floor. I can't even begin to give them enough kudos for all the attention and concerns that they have. I was treated with TOP NOTCH patient care and that means a world of difference in starting the healing process. Thank you to the wonderful group that took care of me, and to all of those that I came in contact with!
