I have been hospitalized 3 times at Baptist for surgeries. In every case I was kept aware of what was going on and after recovery and placement in a room I was well cared for. Nurses were there frequently to ask if I needed anything and how I was feeling. They also responded in a timely manner the few times I used the call button. Hospitals are not fun places and you can't expect everything to be wonderful. Their priority is to address your medical issue and keep you safe until you are sent home. If they succeed in that and don't make you miserably uncomfortable, they have done their job and don't deserve to get trashed. My wife and I have had 5 surgeries between us at Baptist in the last 10 years. Our outcomes were all excellent and they were very solicitous about our health and healing during our stay. That is what you go to the hospital for. The physical environment may or may not be great, but it is not particularly important in my view. If that is important to you, this is still the best option. My wife had a surgery at Forsyth Medical Center and the environment and the care after recovery were a nightmare. We should be thankful that we have a high end teaching hospital attached to Wake Forest Medical School in Winston. There may be more traffic and repeated questions, but the level of care is superb. If I could give 100 thumbs up, I would. Unfortunately I only have 2.
