Sure, it may be an academic hospital, but it would greatly be improved if the doctors communicated with each other, even the same thing with the patients. For example: January 2, 2013, I was told by one doctor I would not need surgery and I could probably go home in a few days. My wife and I were on the cell phones telling everyone the good news. I had just finished the last call when 2 doctors came in my room, "We want to discuss your surgery tomorrow." Even the medical records state they discussed with me why I should have surgery. That was an outright lie! They never discussed, they just told me! Even after the leg surgery, they never put on an SCD to prevent blood clots. I finally got one a couple days after, after my nagging. Even despite the very minimal dosage Lovenox injections in the abdomen, I STILL got blood clots in both lungs! I had to have PT there for the following 3 months. I received PT there twice per week for12 weeks. The first month, I received a statement with each individual PT. The second month, I received a statement posting the PT charge for each week. The third month, I received a statement showing charges for both individual PT AND weekly charges. (Double Billing?) Then, they denied me financial assistance, even though Wheaton Healthcare gave me 100% Community Care. Though I was unemployed due to a brain disease and my wife was only part time, Froedtert refused financial assistance, even when I filed for appeal. Eventually, they forced me into Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Not only will I never go there again, I tell others of my experience. Many even agree with me having the same type experience. One thing I DO have to say, They DO have some awesome, wonderful nurses!
