I
myself had a medical emergency...nothing bad...and dropped by the
University Hospital near here. This was well after midnight and I was
impressed at the staffing there at the late hour.
University...for
some reason, not known to me, has had a bad rap in the past with
patients choosing hospitals in Coral Springs and Plantation Florida.
But this facility and the way they efficiently operated it even in the middle of the night...could not be beat by anyone.
A Doctor...Ricardo (first names only here) from Cuba...held forth in the cockpit of this hospital 747 and he was in control. Not some nurse or intern or even a receptionist not knowing diddly about doctoring!
And
Nice guy Ryan administrated my blood test and did well...and I hate
blood tests! He’s from West Boca Raton, Fl...but don’t hold that
against him.
Then...I EVEN got a cat scan at 1AM! Wow...and the tech (sorry missed the name) was great.
A
nurse whose name I didn’t get was chastising me for taking a couple of
antibiotics for something I shouldn’t have...but in a nice way. She told
me to stick to ibuprofen instead.
There was a pretty blondish nurse with a cute ponytail but I only got a couple of glances.
I did have to return the next night and the story was the same with different personal.
My doctor then was Hans...German but raised in Venezuela
which is interesting.
And
the blood test this time was rather extensive along with some other
stuff you DON’T need to know about and another Venezuelan administrated
all that. His name was Ali and...I think he was a young doctor too.
The magic they all performed has seemed to work well.
I
will have no hesitation returning to University Hospital in the
future. Oh and they have a pretty extensive cardiac department...but my
heart wasn’t the problem!
Thanks to you all there.
