I've been hospitalized here at least 3 times in ICU for 2 week stretches for severe breathing problems and pneumonia. The first time I was admitted i was stuck in a room the air was set to something like 76 degrees. For someone who is laboring to breathe, coughing continuously to circulate oxygen - this is unbearable. I broke a sweat. When I requested them to turn the thermostat down (I had my own in the room) I was told it wouldn't help because they were moving me to my permanent room shortly.
4 hours later - I have requested the air to be turned down several times - I'm still in the same room. And I'm being repeatedly told to sit up, it'll help me breathe. Finally, I had to get mean with the nurse - and I'm NEVER mean to medical help. She finally realized that I'd now then been laboring to breathe for over 6 hours, was exhausted, in pain and had no more patience and turned the air down. I didn't get my permanent room til nearly a day and a half later.
Every other experience there was nearly as bad. Although I have to say that the third and final time I gave them a chance I was sent home after 2 breathing treatments and released. An hour later I was back in the hospital, this time I went to Presby, and diagnosed with walking pneumonia and hospitalized for a week.
Mercy is a joke and I only suggest going there if you have no choice - like post-mortem.
