Only problem today was that I was never told to remain NPO for my procedure. I finally asked someone who called last week to confirm appointment and she told me I could eat. This resulted in my receiving injections in my neck without general sedation. It wasn't great. I would've appreciated someone telling me I needed to be NPO and if you don't know if I can eat, find out to give me an honest answer. Anyway Dr Patel is very nice and is working to squeeze me in for an earlier appointment for another needed procedure due to my leaving the state for work shortly. I appreciate everyone's concern and I feel like they are really trying to heal.

I called to schedule an appointment, and the soonest I could get was 4 weeks in out. About two…read moreweeks later, their office called me to reschedule to a later date during that time frame. On the way to the office on the day of my appointment, their office called me again to reschedule. Since I was already two minutes out, I arrived anyway to make the appointment. They did get me in to see another doctor, but this person was not familiar with my medical history and failed to give me a thorough exam. I was told to come back in a few weeks for a follow-up MRI. In the weeks before the MRI, I received a letter in the mail stating that the MRI would need to be rescheduled. On the day before the (now rescheduled) MRI, their office called me stating that there was a major portion of my bill that wouldn't be covered by my insurance, and they refused to work out a payment plan that didn't involve at least a 50% payment; this was an obvious attempt to blackmail me into paying immediately, since they undoubtedly had this information in advance and waited until the last minute to inform me. I told them to cancel all my appointments as I wouldn't be dealing with them further. After three (3) appointment reschedules during what was a month and a half, I booked an appointment to see a neurologist at the Baton Rouge Clinic. I only had to wait 4 days to see a doctor who could spend the time to exam me thoroughly and do all the lab work I needed that same day. Having worked in the medical profession myself, I realize that it's a difficult and stressful life; that however does not compensate for unprofessionalism and incompetence. If you care about your health and finances, I recommend the Baton Rouge Clinic instead.

The warm blankets are a huge comfort considering you're in a cold hospital...having low iron makes you cold all the time and they are considerate of this. They also have the best crushed ice for ice munchers like myself. I am also gluten free and while you are receiving treatment they also offer snacks..they have gluten free snacks available; which is typically an after thought, if it is ever a thought at all. The environment is extremely peaceful and calming and the heated recliners are so amazing. This week, they handed out tubes of candy decorated as a bunny for Easter and that is such a sweet gesture. Though I do not enjoy being poked and prodded with needles, the comfort the workers offer the patients is top tier. I don't look forward to coming here, but the times that I am here, I take comfort in knowing that I am in the best of care.

I am not afraid because I know God will see me through this and every attack of evil that I will face in fighting for my brothers rights. I know he is already under attack and I pray for the Lord to protect him throughout this time and continue to give him strength and keep him positive and strong as he is attacked and not let him lose hope and continue to fight with the lord protecting him every second throughout this entire situation we are going through. There is obvious something very wrong here. I am asking, praying that the Dr.'s with Mary Bird Perkins please stop the what is going on do the right thing and treat my brothers cancer. Do the best you can with your knowledge and ability. My brother has been positive and has a great attitude. My husband is a poster child with MD Anderson, against the odds, my husband beat cancer and has been a cancer survivor since 2002. The Dr.'s and staff with MD Anderson always had a positive out look and believed "NEVER GIVE UP". My husband formed Bad to the Bone cancer drive at MD Anderson, he teamed up with Be the Match and together a lot of money has been raised for cancer. I later met Lance Armstrong that invited us and other cancer survivors and went to the capital in Austin and working together we got a bill passed that approved money for cancer that has saved thousands of lives and continues to grow. I am hoping the dr.'s at Mary Bird Perkins will do 100% for any patient fighting cancer. I believe if we are all a team against cancer and we all work together and encourage one another and NEVER GIVE UP!! Work together to save as many lives as we can.

I finally was given a room 4452 and was very I'm Tested with the cleanliness of my room. The nurses that attended to me were Jaleesa and Lauren. They made sure I was kept comfortable keeping me on top of the pain. The PCA Karley made sure I remained comfortable. The Physical Therapists Gretchen and Bailey encouraged me to walk the 123 steps to freedom (Home) and the Social Worker Sarah made sure I left with the correct walker. The perfect end of my 35 hour stay was a visit from the Chaplain Joseph. We talked about the COVID virus and the Presidential Election before He prayed with us for my quick recovery and I prayed for God's blessings in his family's lives. He had just become a father for the sixth time just three weeks earlier! God has always sent me His best people. My surgical visit and short stay would be an additional blessing to our lives. Baton Rouge General is a caring, clean and efficient hospital with wonderful kind hearted and devoted people working to heal Baton Rouge and surrounding areas' citizens with the miracles of modern medicine and good old fashioned friendliness.

The second surgery was carpal tunnel,…read moreI met with and thought an experienced surgeon was going to preform my surgery, but a young doctor with little experience ended up doing it. It was the worst experience out of the 3 carpal tunnel release surgeries I've had. My last surgery was gallbladder removal, I asked the doctor at my visit who would be performing the surgery, she said she would be. Again, day of its a brand new doctor, barely looked old enough to be working, but I needed my gallbladder out so I didn't want to reschedule the entire procedure. He forgot to put a diagnostic code on my pain medication prescription, and could not be reached after surgery. So instead of my insurance covering my prescription I had to pay out of pocket. Another thing is I don't know why they have sick people working in the surgery department? One of the people that came to get me for surgery was visibly and audibly sick. Coughing and sniffling and had a mask just dangling off his face. Also, prepared to wait! Appointment or surgery they cannot do anything in a timely manner. I will only go back if it's my only option.

For 2000$ a year they will be a one stop shop, if I may. This covers, lab fees, appointments in person or on the phone appointments and appointments with the dr et cetera. This is a paradigm shift of conventional medicine. I found this interesting and I would have given them a two, but I liked their new idea!
