My last trip to Erlanger was short, but was memorable…read more I work at a hotel and one of our staff members fell and needed to be taken to the ER so we used our shuttle and I took her. Kellie the valet over at the Emergency room was a perfect example of what a valet should do to go above and beyond the job requirements. She assisted with getting a wheelchair for our staff member so she didn't have to walk, she didn't mention my shuttle being in the way (Which it very much was) and she did it all with a smile on her face. From one valet to another. Thank you if you see this Kellie. I will definitely be using that trip to the ER as an example on training people at my hotel.

We suffered with this prospect for several days before a different doctor immediately realized we should be sent to Erlanger for specialists to diagnose. - A nurse who completed paperwork saying my wife was physically feeling okay even though she did not actually visit our room to check on her. When confronted, she told me that's how they do it sometimes. - Nurses or techs who gossiped about my child's lab work right in front of us: "I know right. Those were like, the highest numbers I've ever seen." I could go on about nurses not wearing gloves and how bad the food was, but next to treating my baby like a circus sideshow, making us think she was going to die before us, and lying on paperwork, these seem minor.

I was a patient of this hospital for 4 necessary procedures. The first I was in for one week, then…read morefor 3 weeks, another surgery that was a little under a week, and then for a same day surgery. On the long stays, the nurses were wonderful. I was in my own room, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and everyone was so nice, helpful and caring. They took good care of me. My last two surgeries where with a wonderful doctor who worked out of that hospital. On my 4th one, his team had to streamline the hospitals they would work out of as it was a good haul for them from their main office. I really wanted to be at Chi and not another hospital, and this fine surgeon worked it out with another doctor there to switch a shift so that my surgery could happen at Chi Memorial. Like the show Cheers, I was happy to be back to the hospital where everybody knew my name! It is my home hospital, where I am happy to go should I need their attention! ER waiting rooms are different. Waits can be long, even when it seems that they do not have a lot of people waiting. But not every emergency comes through those doors. Some come through other doors that we may not see. I am betting that some staff have to treat more than people who are coming through the ER door. I never felt anyone was being negligent. There are stages, and depending on what needs to be done, shorter or longer waits. From the people who take your information and then move it out, then the ones that take your vitals, then the ones that take your blood samples, then the lab technicians who have to analyze those blood samples or whatever is sent to them, and then being ushered inside to a room if necessary, where finally a nurse will come in, and then after her the doctor, and finally the nurse to release you. That is a heck of a lot of people for one emergency room patient (me). I know I can feel like it's forever, so just try to remember that inbetween treating you, the medical staff may need to first save a life of someone who coded before they could come into your room. All praise to all of the hospital staff! Each time I wished I could give them a gigantic bouquet of flowers!
