Intensive Care Unit: Sutter General Hospital

Feb 2024

This is for the labor and delivery unit. I gave birth to my son 9 months ago, alone. I was pretty sad but the whole staff was kind, gentle, accommodating, and just soo soo CARING. I felt welcomed and loved even lol. Since I came in alone I didn't have anyone to take pictures of me and my newborn the nurses took them for me and I didn't even have to ask lol felt like I was surrounded by family I wish I could thank them all individually. Also, one of the nurses made me a mocktail right after birthing my son haha so sweet. They truly are the best.

So I've been at this hospital for a couple of days now, I just gave birth to a baby boy on Feb 3. Even though I have had my fair share of issues with certain doctors, Rn's, and assistants in the high risk maternity unit, I've also had my share of good experiences with ppl. I want to start out by giving Special shout outs to nurses/ assistants izabela, amber, Mary, monika, karina, Melissa, surgeon heather beatty, the two male anesthesiologists who worked with me, can't remember their names, the middle eastern cleaning lady that comes to my room in the morning, the cafeteria ladies, Kaytlynn, cindi, Carrie and lastly Steffeni from the nicu. These men and women are all assets to this hospital and should be recognized as such. Now let's get into the issues I have had with certain staff members. One thing that needs to be worked on as a whole is the sensitivity, compassion and professionalism of some of these nurses and such. Me being the patient who's grown as heck by the way, should never be questioned or ridiculed as to why I go to the nicu so often to see my child when I should be resting. That's my child and this is my body. I think at 33 y/o I know how much my body can tolerate. Definitely don't need anyone who's known me less then a week questioning and making me feel bad for doing what mothers do, especially when their little one is in the nicu. Another thing, coming into a patients room continuously asking why their not in bed resting when their on the phone is disrespectful as heck. Again I'm grown, and as long as I'm not disturbing the rest of the unit with my conversations, or doing things that can severely affect my health, why am I being questioned about my sleeping patterns and what not? How do you know I didn't need someone to talk to at the moment? Especially after dealing with an emergency c section and my baby being placed into the nicu. Where's the compassion? Another question I have is why am I being offered more sleeping medication after i told this particular RN Annie that the medicine made me feel weird and i don't feel comfortable taking it like that? I don't get it. The last issue I had to deal with is miscommunication and defensiveness coming from "doctor Sara tillfert" I believe her name is. I can go on a long rant about the situation I had with her yesterday but all I will say is that she needs to get herself in order, and work on honesty when writing case notes, her communication style, and not being so defensive and vindictive when confronted about her actions. Just because your an Obgyn doctor doesn't mean u have the right to be nasty. I could go on about the "office manager" in the high risk maternity unit, but I'm not even gonna waste my time. All I can say is WORTHLESS and LOUSY... Anyways outside of those issues I've had with these ppl, my stay was ok. Would I have another child here? Prob not, but I do acknowledge and appreciate the good experiences I've had with the ppl I listed above, and I really hope they thrive in everything they do in life.

Lost my grandpas wallet for 6 days, everyone was nice for most part but most of the female nurses have no patience for the elderly. Shout out to Nurse Josh on the 5th floor! You were awesome:)
