The staff were excelent. Very profetional,friendly and patient. Both in the ICU and 4f. The quiet review was because of a roomate not the staff. Again Kudos
I checked in and the place that I got my IV put in and got ready for surgery was wonderful. The surgeons and nurses walking around were all pleasant and reassuring - even though they werent my nurse or surgeon. After surgery, the intensive care unit was amazing. I was kept well informed and medicated. They were always there to check on me that I never used the call button the whole 24hrs I was in there! They were happy, had a good sense of humor, and took care of everything. There was no embarrassment for being in such a condition. I was actually sad to go from there.. Things went downhill from 4f. There are some bad ones in there you need to watch out for - 2 asians and one old nurse. I had to use the call button so many times to remind them my IV machine was beeping empty or I needed meds. There was actually an incident where there was a nurse walking by in our room and I asked her to remove a strap from my slippers so I could go to the bathroom (by myself) and she actually told me that she would go get MY nurse! I couldnt believe she couldnt go out of her way just to do it with one hand. I was so glad to leave 4F. Other than that the hospital was great!
My stay here was extra long -- one of the longest post gastric bypass as I was here for a week straight. The staff was great, between the step down unit and ward 4-F, they were always there for every need I had. I couldn't have asked for better care than what I recieved at Portsmouth Naval.
I loved that post op you are taken to ICU stepdown for a night. Excellent care by Dr. Mann and his team.
The hospital was fine.
4F, where you are put after the ICU, could be a little more tailored to the GBP patient or have us all in one section or something. My room had 4, yes 4 beds in it. Luckily, I was the only one in that room. I might have been fairly uncomfortable if there were 3 others. (ie: 4 TVs on, 4 phone conversatoins, 4 peoples visitors...etc.)
While Portsmouth offers an awesome nutrition class, I think that a Bariatric Eating class would be wonderful for post ops.. :-)
I haven't had my surgery yet. But, I love the hospital. It is brand spankin new and state of the art.
Other than one Ensign that I had when I moved to 4F, the staff was very nice and polite not to mention supportive. Everytime I got up to walk I had supporters telling me how good I was doing and how shocked they were by it. It made me feel even better and I walked often because of it.
