Going to the hospital is never a "fun" experience,...

Going to the hospital is never a "fun" experience, especially when you enter via the ER, however, I give them five stars after my recent experience. I woke up in the middle of the night with sudden, horrible pains and when we arrived at the ER the place was packed... every bed full, it seemed, and then some! However, this didn't seem to affect the quality of care they provided. There were multiple people (nurses, doctors, students, administrators, etc) attending to my needs. I never felt abandoned or "in the dark" as to what was happening, as I've felt at other hospitals with other experiences with other family members. We even overheard other conversations (through the thin curtains) with other people loudly complaining and swearing and treating the staff rudely, but even in those situations, we heard the staff acting professionally and treating those people with the same degree of kindness and professionalism they gave us, despite the bad attitudes thrown at them. Long story short, my case turned out to be a painful gallbladder attack... if you're reading this and you're a woman in your 40's, do yourself a favor and cut back on foods with saturated fats... gallbladder pain is tough and something you'll want to avoid if at all possible!!!
