| - We were very optimistic about the Oasis Medical Center. It's nice & new + the reviews were great...
As I think back on it now, I guess my biggest complaint was the two nurses assigned to care for my husband while he was at Oasis where he had a full hip replacement.
The year before he had his full hip replacement at Oasis my husband had a 360 spinal fusion at Thompson Peak Medical Center. (so that is the only other hospital/facility I had to compare to)
When my husband came out of surgery at Oasis and was taken to his room he said he was in a lot of pain. So I went to the nurses station (there was only one nurse at the station and she wasn't very friendly toward me at all) and I informed the nurse of what my husband had said about being in pain.
The nurse acted like I was bothering her- she didn't even come to his room and she said that he had to be awake for her to give him any pain medication. (he was in and out at this point) So I went back to his room and I told him (a little white lie) that the nurse would be coming with pain medication, thinking that he'd fall back to sleep. Well... of course he didn't! He stayed awake.
So... a little while later I went back to the nurses station again (no one had even checked on him since I'd been there) and I told the nurse that he was still asking for pain medication. This time she came to his room with the medication and wouldn't you know it... he had fallen asleep! We woke him up and she gave him the medication (prob so I'd stop bothering her)
When my husband was at Thompson Peak for his 360 degree spinal fusion, he had a pain delivery method where he pushed a button and that was SO MUCH BETTER. They didn't have that at Oasis at the time my husband was there. That difference in administering pain medication was a BIG DEAL in my opinion.
Also- on his 2nd day at the hospital my husband wanted me to bring our little dog when I came to visit him. (She is so well behaved that she never barks, she she stays right where you put her, she's never in the way) As I walked into the hospital I passed a bulletin board with info on a new therapy dog program there at the hospital and as I walked by an open office door, an administrator looked up and asked me if she was a therapy dog. But when I got to my husband's room a nurse came in saw the dog and said: "what's this? Dogs aren't allowed and this isn't Petsmart!" I hope they've all gotten it together by now.
On his last day in the hospital I'd had it with the nurse who had been so rude to me. I walked right past the nurses station and I'd decided I wouldn't even say hello to her. But the last straw was when I was helping my husband get dressed to leave, that nurse walked into his room and my jaw must've dropped to the floor. The tone of voice she used when speaking to him was so different than when I had talked to her. She was so nice and so sweet, I could not believe this was the same person! Don't get me wrong- I'm glad that she treated my husband well, but it was like night and day! I could understand her attitude if I had been rude or disrespectful to her- but I wasn't. I was always nice to her. Anyway, that was just weird.
I wish I had something better to say about Oasis, but I'd definitely recommend Thompson Peak Medical Center over Oasis Hospital. We expected that my husband's recovery from a full hip replacement would be a lot easier than a 360 spinal fusion, but it was not. The full hip replacement was much harder on him and it took him a LOT longer to recover.
