The well never runs dry

I have to say that I have had exceptional care on a few instances. One was at the University of Minnesota in 2015 where I had a 3 level cervical fusion. Having had so many surgeries in my life I had lots to compare it to and i was literally blown away by the nurses in that hospital.

I am not sure if it is because it was a university or if they are just that phenomenal. After having that surgery I was hospitalized for two nights. It was a pretty painful surgery and when i am in pain i tend to roll my shoulders and back up and in. My pain control was excellent but for some reason I just could not relax my shoulders and that was really stressful.

I swear my nurse was on it before I even asked calling my surgeon for new orders. I also had a terrible Migraine brought on by my neck, again he got an order for dihydroergotomine which is the only thing that works for me, gave it to me IV which I usually give myself a shot in the leg. Within 5 minutes the migraine broke and I was nice and relaxed.

These hospitals that are all chained together like here in Milwaukee must be short handed and honestly they dont see to care. They will leave you lay there for hours.

I also had incredible care in a small regional medical center in which i was self pay. So sometimes i wonder if that has something to do with it.

If I were a betting man, I would say it is more likely corporate culture. The people who run the place determine how the people who work there treat the customer/patient. The self pay might have a bearing if they did not take other forms (i.e. insurance), because then it is all about satisfied customers.
