Holy Cross Health Hospital

GENERALLY, THIS HOSPITAL WAS GREAT. IF YOU HAVE THIS HOSPITAL AS ONE OF YOUR PICKS; I STRONGLY SUGGEST HOLY CROSS HOSPITAL

'I had my first consult with Dr. Cantor yesterday and it went extremely well. Not only did he thoughtfully go over the details of the surgery and expain all of the possible risks

I met Dr Cantor today for the first time. He is a very pleaseant man. HE made me feel right at ease immediately. He thoroughly reviewed the entire process with me, including the surgery and what happens before, during and after surgery as well as the recovery period. Most of this I had already researched. I will update as time goes on.

The hospital and staff were good, but for the rest and quiet that was ALL because of a horrible roommate. Even the nursing staff was annoyed with my roommate, and I was glad to go home and rest!

I really have noprobem with the hospital its the people that work there.The nurses should be there because they love to care fore people not because they need a job.

The hospital was under construction which I think had its advantages. FREE parking lol. There was above average noice but I just think that was because my door stayed open. I did not have a private room but I heard it was a slow cpl of days so no one moved in to the bed next to me. I do not think I could have been in a room with someone.

The staff at the hospital was great! For the most part, I really liked staying at Holy Cross. I had one nurse who hadn't worked with a lot of bariatric patients before, so he was a little slow to meet my needs, but he really put an effort into making sure I was taken care of.

Unfortunately, I shared a room with someone who had very inconsiderate guests who where very noisy when they came to visit her. Even when they'd walked past my bed and saw that I was sleep they'd talk loudly, etc. I wish the staff would have done something about this.

My biggest problem was with the radiology staff on the day after my surgery when they took me down to make sure my pouch didn't have any leaks. It seems that they just couldn't understand why I couldn't swallow a large amount of the stuff they use to see the pouch in the x-ray and the kept yelling at me and threatening me about taking large gulps of this stuff and I ended up throwing up all over everything.

The Entire staff was very friendly

I think Dr. Fullum needs to provide his own nurses to deal with his patients. The nursing staff gets quite busy and it takes them a while to respond until you start threatening to have your surgeon paged. They continually brought me the wrong diet. I was supposed to have sugar free or diabetic food and they brought regular. No one told me that I was supposed to dilute the apple juice until later in the night so I was nauseated. I called down for CIB and was told that they did not have it...

I asked to walk for 6 hrs before they let me get out bed and only because my angel turned the hospital out. The staff is really nice, just not on top of things like they should be...

the one thing that I was miffed about was I never got to shower, or clean up, and I didn't get clean sheets. . that kind of grossed me out. They said they ran out of clean sheets?? (maybe they shsould buy some more?)
