I had my surgery, AP from T4-S1, at UC San Franscisco and was very happy with the nursing care. I expected to be treated like one of a herd of cattle, because the hospital is huge with a great many patients. Instead I was treated like an individual with compassion and respect. The nursing staff was prompt when I needed something. I was in 4 times because I contacted MRSA. One of the times I was in was on 4th of July. I was in ICU and was going to be transfer to the regular floor the next day. My nurse and a respitory tech asked if I wanted to see the fireworks. They moved my bed so I could see out of my window, which was a lot of work, because of the tubing and assorted IV's etc. One of my "visits" I started into CHF, my nurse responded quickly and with professionalism. I knew what was going on, which was very scary, especially when you can't breath! She had a Doc and respatory (sp) therapist within seconds at my bedside.
On the regular nursing floor, I recived my pain meds quickly, I was helped out of bed gently everytime, and my general care was excellant.
