I have been admitted Almost 2-3 times a year for the past few years because I have severe asthma and any small chest cold turns into pneumonia. I first came here because I was pregnant and with my asthma I was admitted Almost every month and the antepartum unit was amazing. The nurses I became close with and made me feel welcome and every one from aides to doctors helped me through a difficult time and pregnancy. I spent a month here when I had my baby because my heart went out of wack.

I had my first daughter at Lankenau and i spent 5 days in labor and the 1st year resident and nurse were all I was given. Long story short, if i had listened to the resident my daughter wouldnt have made it. When she was born blue and not breathing only then did the actual doctor on call show up and called a code blue. She was in the NICU for a week. Imagine if I listened to the resident when she told me to stop pushing and give it a few min.

Jeff has always been on top of things and although they usually have students with them (I got asked by a million students to listen to my lungs bc I had "rails") I always feel they are providing the best care available. Thank God for having such a great hospital.

PS- yes, ER waits suck and I had to wait almost a day for a bed but for the care and compassion it's worth the wait.
