My care in ICU and by Dr Adam Guyer was excellent. They saved my life.
Once they moved me to 6 West it was terrible. My sister who is retired nurse had to log a complaint about the Doctor she came in my room for first time without reviewing my chart first advised was going to go sign release papers. If had not been for my nurse Seth coming in and me telling him and he going to find her to advised was coming from ICU with multiple bloods clots in left leg don't know what would have happened. This floor was short staffed over the weekend was left twice in my own urine on full bedpan for 30 minutes each time as no one at station to answer call bell.
Once moved me to Inpatient Therapy was very well taken care of.
Must say though this stay was not satisfactory. There are a lot of unhappy staff could hear talking in hall that .Saying fed up with no help on floors and pulling in nurses that are from different floors that have no clue what they are to do. They can only do so much when no help being hired to takenow a up slack.
Weekends need to be fully staffed just like weekdays. I would rate right a 2-1/2!
