    It's astounding to me how Thedacare Medical Center Appleton is a top of the line hospital when it's…read moreso horrible in care, communication and concern for the people who come in who are genuinely hurting! My brother was urgently scheduled for surgery, NPO after MN, and there by 1:30 pm. Didn't go into surgery until going on 7pm which, provider couldn't complete (understandable), but my brother was only given a pudding and crackers after procedure. That would have been ok if he was going home, but he had to stay the night. The next day, found out he had a 6 hemoglobin and got a transfusion. Spent another night and NPO after MN. The next day, he didn't go into surgery until late morning and never had any food offered to him the rest of the day/evening. He says he was lucky to get water. Sent him home with tube's in his back which he needs to flush daily. Sent him home with a hemoglobin of 7. Oh, the nurses were confused why he came in so early when he was put on at the end of the schedule. I personally won't go there. I was was let go there after 29 years of faithful service. They do not treat their staff well.

    Thank you, Nettie, a Theda Care on-call nurse. Your concern was clear through our lines of…read morecommunication early this morning. Professional, caring, and willing to go the extra yard to find out my hubby's history. I felt better after having spoken to you. You and EVERYONE at Theda Care have been nothing but AWE-INSPIRING to our family. Thank you, Nettie. We appreciate you! :)))) Cindy H.

    For some background, I had 2 back surgeries in 2012 and after the second one I was much better…read more Then I started having issues in 2021 or 2022. My treatment plan was an injection in the right L5, S1 (same area as my previous surgery). Unfortunately, I didn't get any relief. By 2023, my pain was bad and affected my right side as well as my left side L5. The pain was on and off 20x a day at a pain level of 5-8 on a scale of 0-10. I saw the nurse/ PA and he suggested getting an MRI and physical therapy. Therapy wasn't helping and MRI showed no main issues but scar tissue, arthritis and degenerative disk. After doing a test to see if I could have an ablation, Dr. determined I wasn't a candidate. I repeatedly asked the nurse practitioner or the Dr. nurse for cortisone shot but was turned down as it didn't work the last time. During this exam, it didn't hurt in the areas it needed to be but I told him typically it does hurt in those areas. It would get triggered if I stand for a few minutes, sit in a chair for a few minutes or bend picking things up etc. It was still a no go on injections. After having a meeting with the doctor in December, he recommended a prescription. After doing research on the drug, I was pretty nervous of the side effects. So, I decided to get a second opinion. The New Dr. reviewed my records and MRI and suggested a cortisone injection would be something that could help and suggested two shots one on each side. I got the shots and within a few days I feel 80% better. I hope it lasts and time will tell. Overall, neuroscience was professional but wished the PA and Doctor at neuroscience, would have listened to me and considered the injection.

    I cancelled a follow up appointment as I was enroute and almost there. I needed, but woman who…read moreanswered did not know directions to the office from 41 and 10 going west. I was told I only had a ten-minute window to be late, yet she said she was going to pull up a map and look. She works there but doesn't know how to get there from the main highway??? Well, I lost it and dropped several F bombs, and said cancel me, I'm going home. In all fairness, I probably owe that woman an apology because my anger didn't start with her. It started in January when I saw Dr. Bhattachargee after an emergency hospitalization for horrific nerve pain. For context, he did back surgery for me a few years ago and was excellent. Excellent surgeon. Welllll this time around was another story. First, he told me he would not do a 2nd surgery because of my "health problems." Mind you, when he operated last time, I weighed over 230 pounds and was insulin and metformin dependent, high blood pressure...you get the idea. But nothing was said then. I am no longer diabetic, lost over 100 pounds, work out at the Y when I'm not in pain, my endo says I'm going to live to 100. When I said, "what health problems?" he replied, "well you smoke." Now I'm not an idiot, I know nicotine can affect healing, but I smoke five cigarettes a day, I'm in my 70s, and I'll be damned if I'm going to stop at this age. The last surgery went absolutely fine, but now? Naturally, he wanted to send me to physical therapy and I complied, and am still going to pt. Been going to pt for 30 years, so what else? What about my pain? He dismisses me with "OH I DON'T PRESCRIBE OPIOID MEDICATIONS. YOU'LL MANAGE." So I was grousing all the way to Appleton, asking myself why I was going again when he refuses to help me anyway. And he has ZERO bedside manner, ignores any attempt to be congenial and is condescending as all get out. What is it about surgeons and their egos?? I'm a lawyer, but I don't act like Jesus. We do what we do, it doesn't make us gods. If you really, seriously need spinal surgery, go have Bhatta do it, he's brilliant. Just don't expect to be treated with respect or compassion. For myself, I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.
