Review of Renown Health

ER was horrible. I went in with a burst vertebrae...

ER was horrible. I went in with a burst vertebrae. I was walking on my own when I arrived but after the first x-ray was put on spinal precautions due to an unstable fracture. No one said anything and told me I could continue to walk around and use the bathroom and that I would be going home shortly. It wasn't until the surgeon came in and noticed they had my bed sitting up did anything change which included me getting myself out of bed and walking for a ct scan. Once the surgeon came in every thing changed to no you can't move or do anything and you can't sit up and you are definitely not going home for awhile.
After this happened an ICU nurse was assigned to me and everything became great. The ICU took great care of me and the surgery went great. The nurses in the Neuro Science department were all great with the exception of one who decided that I didn't need my pain pills, due to the pain pills and extreme pain I unfortunately don't remember any names. Besides that the only downfall was being stuck in the Neuro Science department with loud and annoying roommates. It was no ones fault those patients didn't know what was going on or what they were doing and the Neuro Surgery area was full.
All in all once I got out of the ER everything was great the nurses were extremely nice and helpful, except one, and in the end I can still walk so I guess I'm lucky
