OB79-My family has had the Vandy hospital experience. It is at best, controlled chaos at times. Without recounting our experience in detail, we were fortunate to get our daughter even admitted as her life was in extreme jeopardy. Admittance, in itself, was no easy task. However, our family will always be grateful for the brilliant and dedicated physicians at Vandy. :hi:
Sounds like we had somewhat similar experiences. However, we arrived by ambulance with all of Ashlee's major organs shutting down...admittance wasn't an issue.
And, our experience has been 99% wonderful. We owe her life to the physicians in the PCICU, PCCU, and ER, and I made sure to write that letter, commending and thanking them for it, first.
It takes a lot for me to take the time out and write a letter of complaint, in fact this might actually be a first for me. However, when my children's well being are in the hands of someone who I feel is more concerned about their title, ego, reputation, or whatever, it does not take long for me to go thermonuclear on your rear end, which I did...and I sincerely hope that the powers that be take it seriously because she doesn't even come close to the rest of her peers, at least from our rather lengthy experience. I made sure to mention that part and thanked them for such wonderful service from all but one staff member.
