Faulkner Hospital Hospital
When I first woke up from the anesthesia, I requested to the nurse that was monitoring me if she can contact my parents and let them know everything went ok, she said...thats your job, once you go into your room, you can call whomever you want! Being that i was a bit drowsy, I couldnt really talk back to her, but I made sure she wasnt my nurse in my private room.
I would recommend this to others - staff was competent and caring - no issues from me.
Nice hospital, with competent and caring staff. Before I want, I noted that others in this review thought the staff was rude, but I did not find that at all. They were attentive to my needs, and did come if I needed them. I would recommend this hospital to others.
The hospital is a large teaching hospital affiliated with MGH and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston...noted to be the best in the country and some of the finest teaching institutions in the world. Faulkner is a beautiful facility, exceptionally clean and every room in the hospital is a private room. But some of the direct care nurses' aides staff were sloppy, wore too much perfume and could use some education in post-op care. But overall I was pleased.
Unfortunately, I had to have a second surgery at this hospital and I think my 2nd stay was worse than the first if that is possible. My back hurt so bad from laying flat in the most uncomfortable bed that on my third day i was trying to rearrange chairs, pillows anything to make myself more comfy and able to sleep. I asked the nurse for a geri chair at 4:30 am and didn't get one until 11am. I asked several times, docs nurses, aides and everyone ignored me until I cried and begged and I guess that got to them. I then begged my surgeon to release me that day because I couldn't stand the thought of spending another day in that room or that bed. They had orginally wanted to keep me a extra day but I was very persuasive and was allowed to go home. I would never ever recommend this hospital & considering it is in Boston where most of the worlds best hospitals are I am ashamed to say so.
