I recently had to have surgery for some hernia repairs. I was dubious about being hospitalized due to the virus situation. I went to the emergency room at Coliseum MC and was admitted that night and the surgery done a day later. There is no way anyone can say that being hospitalised and having surgery was an enjoyable experience. At least not in my opinion. But the doctors and staff at Coliseum medical centre made this at the very least a very comfortable stay and I felt very safe as far as the virus was concerned. I was on the 5th floor. The nurses, the phlebotomists and the entire staff on the 5th floor are nothing short outstanding. The hospitalists and the entire medical entourage were very professional, competent, and attentive with regular visits, inquiries and updates before and after surgery. The surgery was performed with robotic assist by Dr. John Thomas Williams. I am looking forward to my final visit with him so I can personally thank him for his excellence. I am 73 years old and I've had 3 other laparoscopic surgeries without the benefit of the robotic assist. This stuff is nothing short of amazing in regards to the amount of pain after surgery. From a medical viewpoint we are living in the "good old days". Being hospitalized and having surgery could never be called fun. But, the attention rendered by Coliseum Medical Center, to my comfort, concerns, and condition were all attended to with excellence.
As a nurse, I very seldom speak highly of ANY of the local hospitals and avoid the ER at all cost. That being said, I would like to applaud the ER staff at Coliseum Northside hospital for the AMAZING service and care they provided me with on 4/20/15. The 7p-7a shift nurses were attentive and very accommodating. Specifically, RN Jennifer and RN Amy. Even Joy, at the front desk check- in was kind, compassionate and sympathetic. I was in obvious pain and they all recognized it and with in a hour of arriving I was feeling better and much calmer. Dr. Phan listened to what I was saying and acknowledged my fear and treated it with respect. Kudos to all but especially to Amy RN. You guys are a wonderful team and I am feeling much better today. Thank you for all you do, as a nurse, I know that we are very seldomly given any props for what we have to put up with. Again, Thank you, thank you and thank you!
