In the past, I've only come here for…read moreemergencies--fell and hurt my hand, eye issues, and one time getting outpatient surgery in 2004. However, last week was my first time as an inpatient. If you've read through my previous reviews, you will have discovered that I had my first gallbladder attack in November 2012 while I was a resident of Maryland. I had the unfortunate experience of going to Laurel General Hospital and received subpar care. I was advised at that time to get my gallbladder removed, but I sure as hell wasn't about to get the procedure done there, so I declined. From about 2013 until last Thursday, I was symptom free; however, I experienced the same gallbladder attack around 1 a.m. last Thursday. That pain eventually went away, but another intense pain continued and did not go away. I was shaky and weak and decided I better go to the emergency department to get checked out. When I went in, it was around 6 a.m., and no other patients were in the lobby when I arrived, so I was tended to immediately. The nurse took my vitals and placed me into a room. Another nurse named Richard was my caregiver after that. He was very compassionate and kind took EXCELLENT care of me. He placed my IV, gave me fluids, and pain medication. Shortly thereafter, around 7:30, I got my abdominal ultrasound, which showed that my bile duct was dilated and might be blocked with a stone. I was advised to get an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to sweep clean the bile duct, then get my gallbladder removed, which I agreed to have both procedures done. I had quite a few doctors come through before my EUS to check in on me, make sure I was the correct patient, and knew of which procedures I had agreed to have done. The EUS done around 1 p.m., and when I woke up in the OR, it was a little bit after 2 p.m. The EUS went very well, and the stone blocking the bile duct was able to be removed. The only issue was afterward was that my throat felt so bad because of the tubes that had to go down my throat. In the recovery area, a nurse named Iris was WONDERFUL! She kept checking on me and giving me ice chips. I was scheduled to have my gallbladder removed the next day (Friday) around 10:30 or so and was admitted. I was disappointed with how long I had to wait for my room, which was a good 3 hours or so (UGH!), but I finally made it there around 6:30 and was happy that I was given a private room. I have to say that all the nurses who cared for me when I was in my room pre-op and post-op were great, and the two standouts were Reza and LaVivian. They were AWESOME!! Five stars for these two! My surgery came and went without complication, and Reza was incredibly kind, helpful, and very straightforward. He helped me get out of bed the first time after my surgery, and I was in so much pain that I didn't want to move, but he was patient and stern with me and in so many words told me to get my ass out of bed and into the bathroom. I finally did and things got better on their own. He was Johnny-on-the-spot checking in on me and making sure I had everything I needed. LaVivian was one of the night staff nurses, and she was kind, compassionate, and HILARIOUS! Absolutely loved her! I hated that she had to go back to her station, but it was all good. About three doctors came in to check on me throughout my stay, which very thorough, in my opinion, and the nurses were fastidious with my heparin injections and pain meds and to take vitals. I was never in too much pain from my actual surgery; however, I did have an issue with back and leg pain. Because I was strapped down on the operating table and have spinal stenosis and was on my back for so long during gallbladder surgery, the upper part of my left thigh was numb, and I had constant pain in my back on both sides, which then radiated into my legs. That was the worst of it. Of course, now, those problems have resolved. I disliked being woken up, of course, to have my blood drawn, but it's a hospital, and that's just par for the course when you're an inpatient. I didn't eat a whole lot, but as far as my first experience with hospital food, it wasn't bad. I ate mostly Jell-O and water ice, drank mostly cranberry juice and water, and on my last day, I had my first full solid meal of scrambled eggs, a veggie sausage patty, French toast, raisin bran with soy milk, and more cranberry juice. On my last day, the doctor came in and said I could be discharged and that it would take about an hour, but it took more like 2 or 3 hours; nonetheless, I was happy to be leaving. Reza tended to me and ordered an escort. He was able to make me and my husband laugh and was just a super star of a caregiver. I will never forget the great level of care I received during my stay. This is why I will always go to ANW for emergencies and anything else. Thank you, ANW staff, for taking very good care of me!
