My overall experience at Brandon regional Hospital...

My overall experience at Brandon regional Hospital was positive. I came into the ER with severe lower back pain. The emergency room was half full and very busy. My wait time in the waiting room was about 2 hours in total which wasn't too bad. Once I was seen by the ER doctor and admitted I had a pretty good pleasurable stay. The MRI technician that took care of me was excellent. He was very caring as I was in so much pain I could not lay still for the MRI itself. I was crying in pain when I was finished and he helped me to sit up and get back into my wheelchair. He called up to my nurse and explain to her that I need pain medicine right away and seemed very concerned. The two other female technicians that were at the desk did not show any kind of sympathy with my pain and were too busy chit-chatting. Once back in my room, all of the nurses that were on rotation that evening up to the next afternoon when I was discharged were amazing. Overall I had a great experience although I was in pain. The nurses during my stay helped me with pain management and I felt cared for which was very important to me.
