My husband just spent one night in Tower 8 and I would suggest it was a mediocre experience. We both expected much better! The nurses, while I am sure are knowledgeable, seemed to spend quite a bit of time "chirping" together at their stations about personal "stuff". And his trash bucket in the bath was not emptied ....Additionally, as his wife, I went out and had to ask 3 times about a particular doctor. The nurse I spoke with was not complimentary about the doctors, in general.
In fact, when asked what doctors were on the floor, she didn't know and was never sure when a doctor was coming. Also, my husband came out of the recovery room and all the wires, etc....his gown and everything was was left all askew. He was not comfortable at all......

My husband is a "gem" and rarely complains. But, as he put it, the processes in place (a nurse writing his blood pressure on a sticky note to take out to the chart) or (the nurse telling us that a medication was cancelled but she doesn't know "who" or "why") should be reviewed and changed. At the end of his stay, he got up himself, got dressed and walked out without anyone questioning or stopping him........

Unless a doctor strongly suggests we go to SMH in the future, we will try elsewhere.
