User Contributions:

Recently, I was admitted to Baptist Hospital with a severe case of the flu. From the moment that I entered the emergency room until I was released, I could not have asked for better care. I spent five days there with the first three under quarantine. I was informed in detail as to the medications being administered, why, and what would be the expected results. I was on a prescribed diet and once again was informed as to why in simple, understandable layman language.
Regardless of a staff members position, whether a doctor, nurse, dietician, or even someone on the custodial staff, before leaving the room I was always asked if I needed anything or if they could do anything to make me more comfortable. Of course they would need to ask my nurse before giving me anything but, they asked!
The staff was always polite and respectful and came to work with their sense of humor. The whole time, I felt that I was a special patient. Of course I was not but, this was how I was treated and how I felt. Truly, I believe that their great care care overall contributed my very rapid recovery. Two of my nurses, Amy and Jennifer were absolutely priceless. They always asked me about my condition and how I felt, in my own opinion. Many evenings they would take time out to just have a conversation with me, not related to my illness, but just on a person to person level.
No one wants to be hospitalized but with my recent experience with these great and caring people, this is where I would want to receive my care.
