| - The staff here saved a family member of mine's life here after a CVA. (a stroke) The doctors and nurses put up with my crying, simply reminding me kindly to keep it together in the room.
They took the best care of him I could ever ask for, kept me informed, and let my family visit without harassment at any hour.
Maybe it's because I am grateful to say I had never been to an ICU before, but I think there's a damn good reason it's so costly. That room was sterile, but bright, plenty of room, and a nurse was always right outside, monitoring! I visited ICU for about a month.
PT and OT were great, so patient, so professional, and so compassionate. They came to the Acute unit for about another month until he was transferred to TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) Rehab facility in a different state.
I have no complaints, and by no means would I say that about too many other hospitals. They must truly have some of the best staff in the world here. Every single person I encountered (and there were many!!) had a great bedside manner, which I later came to understand takes an incredible amount of patience that I admit I don't have myself. I couldn't do their job.
My story is a happy ending, and I am all too aware that it could have been different. I could never thank everyone enough.
