Since late May, I have been hospitalized three times: first at Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport,…read moreCT, then at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, CT, and now at Valley Regional Hospital in Claremont, New Hampshire. I was admitted this morning after an ambulance transport to their ER. I was initially surprised by their three-star rating and couldn't understand the reason. This is my second encounter with this Claremont hospital. Several years ago, I visited their ER due to a kidney stone; their care was outstanding, and I vowed to return if needed. Yesterday, I was treated for a hematoma in my left thigh on the ER floor, similar to treatment I previously received at the VA hospital in White River Junction. As my condition worsened, I was transported by ambulance to the nearest ER, which turned out to be here at Valley Regional--the staff were professional, attentive, and compassionate. In particular, Jeffrey, the paramedic on duty, provided remarkable care, exemplifying excellent emergency services. After tests, I was admitted this morning and met Kathy, the floor nurse, to be equally genuine, a true empathy with the perfect bedside manner personality, and skill level that made my stay exceptional. Not all the hospital beds I've had to sleep in over the past two months have been this comfortable. This room and VRH was private and calming. I'm not sure how people aren't experiencing the same relief I am, as everyone here has been exceptional.

I arrived early and the first comment from the therapist was that she had another patient waiting. She bordered on rude and definitely gave the impression I was interrupting her day.
