I have been having stomach pain and intermittent vomiting etc. This progressed to one final bout that made it necessary to call an ambulance. The staff was completely overworked and the census was completely full. However the staff Dr on duty gave me the same wonderful attention that I've come to expect from Parkview. The team that attended me and the expertise of Dr ordering an emergency Cat Scan with contrast showed that I needed surgery. I had very large gallstones and bile and sludge with a stone lodged in a duct of my liver. I don't think another Dr would have found the problem because I HAVE NO GALLBLADDER! THEY HAVE EVEN FOUND A MASS THAT THEY ARE INVESTIGATING IN CASE IT'S CANCEROUS. ALL OF THIS WITH AN ADMISSION OF VOMITING! I am totally in awe of the fact that I was in a life or death situation and any other Dr probably would have given me pain meds, stopped my vomiting and sent me home. The hospital was so full I had to go from the emergency Dept to surgery because the hospital was full! I thank the staff so much for the professionlism and time they obviously give the most common of complaints. I take issue with the negative comments I've read because my experience with all of my attending Dr.s, nurses, etc. was completely opposite. Because of them I had much needed surgery and am being treated vigorously to make sure that my liver isn't cancerous.
Thank you to all of the wonderfully professional staff of Parkview Medical .
