Loved one in the hospital, POOR communication from the staff.

I've been in the hospital twice since November and just had a visit to the ER on this past Monday night.

Overall things went smoothly.

I had a knee replacement done November 3rd. Had the the other knee done in 2017 at the same hospital. This stay was better... they mostly let you get some sleep every night. And no cather this time, either. The nurse told me there were new federal regulations designed to make patients more comfortable and to make each hospital stay a bit cheaper (my last catheter was $1700.00!!!)

I had an "unofficial" heart attack on December 13th... bad chest pain I thought was indigestion. Went away in 15 minutes. Then, on December 20th, I had "the widowmaker". 45 minutes of chest pain followed by a trip to the ER and a helicopter ride to the regional heart center where they put in one stint in my 95% blocked main artery.

The copter ride was $28,000 for about 20 minutes.

I was in a different hospital than my earlier knee replacement. Good doctors and nurses. Admitted Sunday night went home Tuesday PM.

Neither hospital asked me to wear a mask. I'd say most of the nurses and doctors did not wear masks, either.

I'm happy I got the good care I needed.
