My mom had hip replacement by a great dr from Texas orthopedic at Methodist since they wanted a icu available just in case. Surgery went well. Methodist only does PT once a day even though doctor told us he ordered it twice daily. Nurses didn't help fill in gaps of getting her up and walking around at first, but did help when it became apparent there was a need. Dr approved discharge if PT approved. Pt approved discharge. I told them we have steps at our house and that had not been worked on. Physical therapist that evaluated her for discharge apparently didn t read the chart. Got it straight finally. Glad I happened to be there to intervene. Staff is very friendly and helpful otherwise. Her surgery was on Thursday and she had been cleared for shower day after surgery. Have been told there are no shower chairs and there are no benches in the showers. After 4 days, and being on two different ortho floors, she was finally able to get a shower. They closed down one floor and moved us to another. I had to intervene getting a patient liaison involved and they improvised using a potty chair. Kinda surprised such a grand hospital would slack on that. I know they prob have fast discharges most the time, however, I am sure there are plenty that take a few more days to recover. Would use Methodist again because good hospital overall, but disappointed in their PT dept. I feel seeing the frustration of those helping me get her a bath. I bet that changes for the better pretty soon
