This is really timely. I had about 4 episode's of minor TIA's and was seen by a series of Dr.'s and almost all but 2 said it was because of a "clot". A wonderful Neurologist who was doing some consulting work at the Village Hospital from the Cleveland Clinic, which is one of the very top Clinic's in the world on hearts talked to me as I was at the end of my teists and there were loads of them. She said I did not have a clot but rather my episodes were the result of age and very low levels of Vitamin B12. Of course I ran to the internet to see what the heck this B12 was all about. It totally confirmed the episodes I had experienced mapped right along with expected results if you were very low on B12. One of the advantages of having a TOTV's is being able to share for others our experiences. Regarding the Village Hospital. I spent 5 days in the hospital 3 one and 2 the other and went through the ER by ambulance so I had the advantage of seeing it in both the ER and Regular Floors. It demonstrated the Nurses, and Aides were well qualified and it was excellent care. BUT the tools to do their job's are sadly lacking. Their computers are lousy along with the software, some of the "hand medical" equipment failed on a regular basis, things like pillows, etc are scarce and hard to find and it generally failed from a basic "management" standpoint. You have to give the staff credit as it is clear they take great pride in their work and have to overcome some hurdles to provide the fine support for their patients. Rating wise I would give them a 5 for support and care and 1 for management.
