Review of Holy Cross Medical Center

Went in through ER. Was ridiculous wait time, but worst was even after deciding to admit me, they hadn't gotten me to a room til 10:30 pm. after arriving around 10 am. My room had NO HOT or WARM water at all in sinks or shower. There for 10 days!! Dr. Nwuso was extremely nice, my surgeon and anesthesiologist were both good, but several days in I had Dr. Hedera, she was rude and dismissive, even not picking up 2 calls my surgeon made to her between surgeries he was doing there.
MAJOR problem I see, the staff is from every nationality you can imagine, which is great, IF they can communicate between each other and patients, making important medical decisions. When telling my nurse surgeon was trying to reach Dr.H about possibly giving more blood and checking about blood thinner bridging with the hematologist, she replied through him (nurse)instead of coming herself "tell her she has to leave" WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME? bad communication. Pathology read my biopsy wrong. When reviewed by a cancer center at another hospital I learned I have cancer. I was never contacted, the 3rd opinion caught it!!!!
