I went in for what turned out to be more than simple stomach pains. I hadn't had a bowel movement in over 3 days. Because I've had a rune-y bariatric surgery @ 9 years ago, and had to have emergency surgery in Green Bay last year to repair a rupture in my pouch, I went to the ER. Btw, I live in Ishpeming, less than 1 mile from Bell, no way I was going there !
Dr. Edwards told me that my appendix needed to come out. He did the surgery, no problems, however, I still did not move my bowels. I was admitted because I also had pneumonia. My pain continued. Dr. Edwards was on call but would not come in.
After I began vomiting bile and still was unable to go to the bathroom, Dr. Herrera was called. She performed surgery to clear a blockage and repair a hernia in my abdomen. She is a rock star ! Edwards ? The reason for 4, not 5, stars,
The room was excellent. The nurses were attentive and compassionate. The food was fair, as good as possible under the conditions of cafeteria cooking. Even the janitors, security, and maintenance personnel were friendly and asked how I was doing. I have no complaints.
I've received my bill and had a very pleasant conversation with billing. They're working with me and within my budget, unlike Bell. I will be back.
