Froedtert ER physicians are awesome. Froedtert nurses are awesome. However, if you arrive there undiagnosed, DANGER! Their " academic" model of diagnosing is scary and flawed. Head west to University Hospital Madison Or Mayo clinic. Your life may depend on it.
Every Monday, a new team of residents and attendings take over. Start again at square 1. They use the "shotgun" approach to order tests, hoping something will reveal itself. Very costly. No coordination of when labs and tests should be done. No concensus among attending and consultants. They do not include the patient's nurse in grand rounds, and communication with patient and family is lacking. There is a lack of quarterback leadership to inspire the team. Lots of egos, but not critical review of what is best medical practice, and best decision for the patient. Other academic medical centers actually make a plan, and communicate and work with other specialists, and communicate clearly with patient, family, and the patients own nurse.
