Good Samaritan Hospital Hospital

Nice hospital. I was on a floor that was used to taking care of a lot of bariatric patients. The nurses knew the routine.

I can't say enough about the staff at Good Sams they were wonderful. They answered all my questions and took care of all my needs.
If I voiced a concern about anything they took care of it right a way. They were very compassionate

Once I got to the correct floor, things went great. I was initally put on a floor that wasn't prepared for RNY, but the nurse was wise enough to recognize that I needed to be moved to the correct unit. The staff was A#1

I was very pleased with the way my case
was handled. When I was really nauseous, the n
nurses went out of their way to get me
some relief.

I enjoyed my hospital stay and if I were to ever go back to a hospital, Good Samaritan will be my first choice.

I threw up old blood for the first three days because the new stoma from my pouch to my intestine was swollen closed. I was told on day two from my doctors partner that throwing up was normal and that I needed to get up and walk! When I saw Dr. Salvino on day three he sent me for an UGI and they found the blockage.

The hospital doesn't let you sleep at night at all. All night long they wake you up. One person will come in to take your blood presure, an hour later they take your temp. Two hours later they wake you for a breathing treatment. That goes on all night long. Plus the nurses at night are not quite at all. I heard them talking, laughing, etc. I also was very unhappy because on my last night there the night nurse read my urine output wronge and called the doctor (my doctors partner) who wanted to put in another cath and another IV. When I wouldn't let them I became a bad patient and I got in a fight with my doctors partner who told me I would have a major set back and it would be all my fault. Luckily, I went home the next day!

VERY VERY GOOD!

The rooms are like closets and they stuff two people to a room. No private rooms no matter how many times you beg. The room is not even as large as my family room. The rooms are cold and sparse. My roomate had two and three visitors all the time and I couldn't get any rest or privacy. I would never go to Good Sam again unless absolutely forced.

My hospital stay was OK..nothing special. I was there for 4 days, and the day was based on how good the nurse was that was assigned to me that day. I had one horrible nurse who ignored me all day, and I had problems, but for the most part, they were good.
