From the start of my ordeal which began with emerg...

From the start of my ordeal which began with emergency surgery on my 38th bday in Oct 2015 (Thank you Dr. Chan for saving my life & to the whole surgical crew for singing happy bday to me while stapling me shut. Sorry I missed it, lol! ) Sutter has always been a comfortable, clean, welcoming place and Ive ALWAYS come in through the emergency room since every problem Ive had has been an emergency. I havent always been the best patient- in fact quite difficult at times, but the staff have been unbelievably kind and knowledgeable and patient with me. All my visitors marvel at the facilities which include a gift shop you could browse for hours on end, a cafe with some of the best coffee ever & even a wide selection of vending machines with healthy stuff available 24-7. Friends are surprised at the professional & attentive care I receive here even after being very surly and disagreeable with my nurses. I still feel loved when I least deserve it, theyre amazing and I shouldve let them know it. I dont know where I'd be without this place. Having been a Kaiser member most of my life until recently (though I was never ill my entire life nor had to admitted to a hospital until that birthday) & having accompanied a friend to a different Sacramento NON-Sutter emergency room in Jan 2017; I don't EVER want to find out what my life would be like without Sutter...if I even HAD a life at all! I hate hospitals, but when I HAVE to go I honestly LOVE this place.
