I was recently a pt at the Cedar Crest location. I was in the ICU for 3 days, and a regular room for 3 days. They have these new beds that are motorized and have a "turn buckle" things that spins about 45° back and forth. The object, I was told, was to avoid pressure points that lead to bed sores. Those beds are HORRIBLE!! I have had several back surgeries, and most of my vertibre are fused. I was in absolute agony in that bed! When I explained to every Nurse and therapist I saw how extremely painful laying in this bed is to me, my concerns were ignored. I was awake, being a complete nuisance to the Night Shift Nurses, for which I apologize. But someone should have come up with a solution. Even layering blankets over the "turn buckle" thing, and turning the motor off would have helped. Unfortunately, my head was not clear enough at that time to think of that. So please, next time someone like me is crying from discomfort or pain because of those stupid beds, please help them, instead of ignoring them, like they did ne. My experience at LV Hospital, Cedar Crest was absolutely miserable!! read more
