When I first arrived I was anxious and feeling like a train wreck. At this point I'd lost 9 pounds…read moreover a week from severe hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and was desperate for fluids and food. HG is a pregnancy condition where the nausea is so bad, that it prevents you from keeping down even sips of fluid or small bites of saltines. Many women end up hospitalized, frequent flyers at the ER and needing major care to stay healthy and have a healthy pregnancy. After a trip to the ER myself and getting fully diagnosed after testing and IV's, my OBGYN made a plan for me that included coming here every 2-3 days for IV infusions. They include a liter of lactated ringers and a liter of lactated ringers loaded with essential daily and prenatal vitamins and IV medicine. To say I was anxious was an understatement. But the staff here from front desk check in, pre-treatment vitals and treatment are truly wonderful. Everyone is so caring and empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. You start to see the same patients coming and going and it's really great to see the relationships between them and the nurses. Names are remembered, what was last talked about, sincere care. I've also been anxious about getting IV's, as they tend to hurt now which I'm not used to. But as my IV nurse best friend said, normally veins are plump and easy to access but mine are flat and dehydrated. The nurses here have been really great at giving heat pads, cuffs and using gravity to get my veins to pop out just enough. And we have enough between my arms and hands to be able to alternate without needing a midline or piccline (thank goodness). What to expect ..... you walk into building 2 and they have a little desk who screens everyone who enters. They'll ask if you have any flu symptoms and do a laser gun temperature check. You'll get a sticker with the date and the word "screened" on it to wear, if you pass. Then you head into room 140, to the right and down the hall. You check in with the nurse and let them know when you took which medications last, they'll also ask if you've had a covid test within the last 2 weeks. Then you take a seat and wait to get called back. Once a nurse comes to grab you, they'll weigh you, take your blood pressure/vitals and temp. Afterwards, you'll head back to the actual IV area, which has chairs and privacy barriers between each chair. There is a huge desk/nurse station and then the chairs border it. So that eyes are always on you to make sure you're lines are doing well and you're being well cared for. Once you sit, they offer warm blankets and pillows for your head or IV arm to rest on. The chairs themselves are like lazy boys, they recline almost flat and the leg section pops up for you. They also have various snacks to offer. Graham crackers, saltines, peanut butter and Tillamook cheese. Cup of noodles if you're feeling extra hungry. Sodas, juices and water. Mid-infusion I'm usually able to eat some saltines with the cheddar cheese, which always tastes amazing, especially if I've been throwing up all night waiting to get to my next infusion. If you have to use the bathroom, they can unplug your machine which has a battery in it, then you can wheel your whole IV tower into the bathroom with you. Everything is as comfortable as they can possibly make it. Which is great, as I need to start coming in 3 times a week now. Which means I'll be seeing these nurses more than anyone outside of my household. For cleanliness, it's a hospital facility. It doesn't get much more brightly lit and clean than this place. There are also hand sanitizers every where and sterilized pens at check in, so no community reuse items, aside from door handles. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my care here. I think you will feel the same, too. Come here with confidence and feel better! Also, personal tips. Bring something cozy where your sleeve can roll up without being tight, or something to drape over your shoulders and uppers arms. My IV arm always gets really cold, so having that layer of insulation really helps keep the shivering down. If you didn't get good sleep and plan to nap, bring an eye mask, as it's really bright in the room. I also bring my own added blanket, as it's a little thicker. The room is a bit chilly to start with and getting 2 liters of cold IV pumped into you, does wonders for dropping your body temp. Also, the IV machines beep pretty often around the room, things like needing the change the IV bag or the bag is done. So at various points of your stay, you'll hear multiple IV machine beep alarms going off. Bring ear plugs if you're going to try to nap. Or if you're exhausted enough, perhaps you'll just sleep through them. If you plan on staying awake, bring some sort of book or activity to keep entertained. I see a lot of patients with headphones and movie watching going on. You're also welcome to bring your own snacks, too.

First time here for an infusion and I really like it. Even though I have crappy veins, the nurse…read moreworked around that and we successfully accessed one after 45 min. I appreciated that she didn't poke me more than twice, as the bruising after is horrid for me (I literally look like a junkie) All nurses are caring and they look after you. I was initially assisted by Elena and she was the most wonderful. If you have to get done infusions on the regular I recommend to have an "infusion bag" that contains a nice blanket, some snacks, electrolyte drink/sticks, water bottle and a battery pack for your electronics. PS: be sure to wash that blanket after each session!

If you want an Endodontist who will put you at ease ( not ) by saying, "Let's get this nightmare…read moreover with," right before you get your first root canal, than Dr. Bayat is your man. That's what he did with me. When the root canal was finished, I told him, "It would've been nice if there had been a LITTLE less chit chat during it" ( he chit chatted with his assistant nearly constantly during the root canal ). Instead of accepting the constructive criticism, and maybe learning from it, he got defensive. Then I mentioned how I didn't have much anxiety coming in, until he said, "Let's get this nightmare over." He got MORE defensive. "We have anesthesia available," he said. I don't know, simply not referring to the procedure as a "nightmare," right before performing it, seems a lot easier than doing anesthesia. On a side note, but worth mentioning, before the surgery, something in our conversation led me to joke, "My dad didn't tell me about sex growing up. One day my dad said, 'You know about the birds and the bees, right?' I said, 'Yeah.' And he said, 'Good, I'm glad we had this discussion'.... That was a joke." Dr. Bayat said, "Well, here's something that's NOT a joke. The only time my dad mentioned sex was he said, 'Don't get AIDS.'" I think he also said that his dad said, "Don't be gay." So, again, words that might not put certain patients at ease. Dr. Bayat seemed alright when I first met him, a week ago. It was very disappointing to see this other side of him, especially on the day of my first root canal.

My best advice for all things OHSU is to get scheduled with Immediate Care if you can help it and…read moreyou are in any pain. They do same day appointments ONLY, so call them as soon as they open. You will find as early as 8:05 am, they will already be booked out to two or three, they are *that busy*. It isnt their fault they are overworked and understaffed, so please try to exercise kindness when you interact with these providers and their assistants. Chances are, if youre stuck waiting to see your PCP, the IC clinic can at least get you started on a referral. They are also awesome at reaching out on MyChart extremely quickly if your issue isnt something they have the facilities to work with, for example there isnt an ultrasound in the Immediate Care clinic so you won't have any luck scheduling for that with them. They are happy to redirect you where you need to go. If you have a negative experience with an operator i PROMISE the clinic wants to know about it, especially if you believe you were being treated unfairly due to being on medicaid or medicare given their strict nondiscrimination policy. But of course my experience is bound to not be universal. There have definitely been times with OHSU generally that i have been frustrated and felt unheard, but the crucial, massively important piece is that *i contacted them about it directly and they made it right!!!* every time! Ive never had a reason to leave a bad review after asking them for help fixing a problem i had. Most of the time miscommunication on their part and/or my own difficulty interpreting tone was to blame, but even when there was a more serious issue, i felt totally safe contacting OHSU to correct it. The one time i felt too insecure to talk to OHSU about it directly, i went through OHP and they completely took care of it on my behalf. They want to help and they want to be aware of those on their staff who don't want to help. I promise you. It isn't perfect. No teaching hospital will ever be perfect. 8/10 times with OHSU as a whole you will be given to a fresh faced resident. But they are almost always willing to own their mistakes and make it better (and their supervising doctors hold them accountable too). I have tried Adventist and I have tried St John, and OHSU is the first place where i dont feel like cattle. I come from a deep red state though and some people talk about this marvelous establishment like its an Oklahoma Urgent Care. Nobody here understands what a utopia this place is with a quality of care i never thought possible. Moving here was like moving to the twilight zone. This is the kind of health care you hear people talking about other, more privileged countries affording their patients. And for most of us ITS FREE. Completely free. Im from multiple minority demographics so i know this isnt some type of conventional privilege being afforded to me, either.
