I fell and broke my hip 9/18 at 5pm. Upon arrival at the trauma center, within 10 minutes I saw a nurse and a doctor. I was wearing a rather expensive gown, and the ER nurse was able to remove that gown without cutting it off. Truly a caring nurse and so capable. I didn't believe they could do that, and not put me in additional pain. I wish I had her name. She is special! Almost immediately they were taking xrays. It took a couple of hours before I was assigned a room, but even in ER I was well taken care of, and pain meds dispensed to keep me as comfortable as possible. The orthopedic surgical team came in and interviewed me, in preparation for surgery the next day. In fact, 13 hours later, 6 am, I was in surgery having an anterior left hip replacement. The medical staff on the 4th floor West room 410-2 was amazing. I loved all my RNs and CNAs. I am so sorry I am unable to name them, but they took terrific care of me. Meds on time, they allowed me to participate in my care, and were absolutely so helpful and professional. In a hospital with announcements at least once every 45 minutes of some kind of medical code, medical emergency, etc, I have no idea how they balanced it all, but they did! Terrific care. Oh, in addition, the food was well prepared and tasty. Although I was not up to eating much, it was not due to the food. I enjoyed it all, albeit small bites. Thank you all for your great care.
