I endedd up having a rare condition called biliary hyperkinesia and was insanely sick for like 8 months and nearly lost my life from rapid weight loss alone rather than all the horrible things that came with it
Regarding emergency room:
I've actually had an amazing doctor before I believe his name was doctor haydir?(spelling). He went over and beyond to try and help me.
I brought my daughter into the ER last night with concerns if an appendicitis. We were in a room within 20 mins and nurse Vivian was so sweet to us. She is clearly very knowledgeable with an amazing bed side manner. I highly recommend this hospital and ER.
Didn't come up on anything, got my gallbladder out, was sent to pathology, cane back Cholesytitis.
I have had off and on decent care here.
The room I was in had a used band aid on the floor!! The floor was gross looking!! Room 4
I no longer have pain...but my body has to now recoup all the weight loss and getting used to just eating again. I still have minor issues but none like I did before as all of this was absolutely gallbladder related.
But what I'd like to note is more education on rare illnesses...same with other hospitals as well.
The lady at the front desk was very nice and pleasant but i took my daughter in to this hospital about a week ago and it seemed the nurses where pretty weird they kept giving me and my daughter strange looks and one nurse even came in and asked me if my daughter eats. She is 22 months and eats very well every day when i said yes she eats her favorite food is tomatoes his reply was "as in ketchup". And then went on to say that if she does not eat i can feed her shakes. I felt like this was very rude considering the reason i was there had nothing to do with her eating.
Let me start by saying the staff at this hospital is beyond great. I have been going to St Josephs for many years and the care given is top notch. For a smaller facility they work hard at staying up with the times while trying to keep relationships personal and make you feel welcome. That said over the last year they have sent their billing and business office out to a third party and it has become so much of a cluster that I'm swapping hospitals and primary care from St. Josephs. You cannot get in touch with anyone at the hospital to discus anything as they push you to the third party company that is no help at all. They are more than rude and do not care about patient relationship which is what St. Joseph's model was built on.
