I have been in hospitals a lot with our daughter and I know the difference between dedicated care and the other kind.
I was taken care of by experienced and warm, caring people and could not have asked for better care.
I am so glad to be home, and although I think highly of the hospital, I plan to go somewhere else NEXT Christmas.
It could have turned out very badly and it turned out very well. Wonderful people work at that hospital. Wonderful. They had me diagnosed when I arrived and I was immediately treated.
Thank you God. Thank you TVRH.

I'm so happy you are okay but sorry you had to spend Christmas in the hospital.
We too had an excellent experience with TVRH emergency department a year and a half ago. However, it was August, and by the time I got to the hospital after the ambulance left the house, there was no one in the waiting room, including DH. I had been told at the entrance that someone would come get me when I could go back to the room. After over an hour, I asked when that was going to happen, and this time the (different) person said "Oh, you could have gone back immediately."
Treatment was fast and good, and dismissal was a day and a half later. In the interim, the problem we had (other than absolutely inedible food) was that some personnel miss-communicated or failed to communicate important information/directives to other personnel, including sending us to the wrong location for a follow-up visit.
However, those were not life-threatening issues, and I have been hesitant to jump on the bandwagon dissing TVRH or its ER, especially because there was no one in the ER waiting room when we arrived, so care was immediate.
We have, however, switched to a doctor connected to Monroe. I do believe we were lucky that August.
