Well it happened. A routine knee hardware removal surgery went wrong! Thankfully, the doctors and staff around me when I woke up coughing blood were able to immediately get me a bed upstairs, and called rapid response create a plan, to get me the help I needed. They have pretty much figured out what went wrong, and helped me understand it as well. Basically, I aspirated during surgery somehow, and broke some blood vessels which poured into my lungs. They initially thought pulmonary embolism. They did multiple chest x-rays, this lung scanner that I don't recall the name of, a CT with contrast, and a bronchoscopy. They did what all they could to find the root cause of the problem. It was very scary, but with the help of the doctors and the staff, they've consoled me and I don't feel scared anymore. Now, in terms of response time by the nurses, I will say It is difficult for a nurse to be everywhere at once. they have many patients to care for. I have walked myself to the bathroom rather than waiting for the nurse. but only do so if you know you are safe, never do that if you are at risk of falling! my orthopedic surgeon cleared me to walk so I did. I have been allowed to have family members and friends spend the night with me, which is so amazing with helping manage my anxiety levels while I'm here. Also, with my family and friends being allowed here, They've been able to help me with things that the nurse might not have been able to get to as fast, like a walk to the bathroom or a blanket or the lights adjusted or whatever I need! a win-win. This was a scary experience, at first there were a lot of unknowns, but the staff truly did their best for me. I can't say that you all will have the same experience, as we all handle things differently and have different medical issues and needs. All I can say is try to have patience with your nurse and care techs, they have lots of patients to care for. Always advocate for yourself, but be kind. Try to listen to what your doctors are telling you. Only thing that could turn this review bad, is if I get a huge bill in the mail. This should be covered by insurance though, as it was a sudden emergency that was not my fault. I have some things to add after reading other reviews. I have spent a fair time in hospitals in my 23 years on earth. I broke both of my legs in a car accident. that was 3 whole months of hospitalization, with care from the best of doctors to the worst of CNAs. Trust me, I know when it's a bad facility, and this is not one. One lady who posted a review was confused why she would be woken up at 2am for a test. The hospital is not a hotel. You will get woken up at awkward times to do tests. A lot of negative reviews are about response time from nurses, which I've already touched on. My bed alarm is not on, so I don't have any issue getting up alone. If your bed alarm is on, that means you are not supposed to get up alone. Also, these doctors and nurses, they need to ask questions to help you. just because you think the questions they are asking aren't relevant, doesn't mean you should Immediately get upset. Listen to each other and advocate for yourself in a calm manner if possible. These are medical professionals, but they are also real people. I'm sure people knew how to communicate better, some of these reviews wouldn't be so negative.

I've just finished spending 2 nights at AdventHealth Hospital in Hinsdale for the first time. It's now UC AdventHealth. I couldn't have been more impressed with every single staff member, the phenomenal care and the cleanliness of the hospital. I'd never think twice about going there again.
