"A hospital is like a house...You can't make it a home without some substance with it.
The facilities at this hospital were wonderful. My problems came when I did not like the way a nurse was treating me. Then did I catch it for the next 48 hours. There is always one bad apple in a crowd. But there were others that joined the band wagon. ONLY because I asked to have another nurse.
Pay the extra money to have a private room if available. They finally moved me to a small room. But you need someone with you that first and second nite...I know I did. After that you are aware and can manage.

"I had met Dr. Krahn at Celebration Hospital in Kissimmee during an informational resouce meeting that is mandatory.
He was very open and addressed all questions completely.
I set up an appointment and drove the 3 hours to Ft. Lauderdale to see him as the office in Celebration is not up and running. After meeting with him, he agreed with other Physicians on the need, I immediately scheduled the remaining appointments with the Pshycologist(sp), Cardiologist and the Pulmonolgist(sp). I saw all of them on the 1st of May.
Dr. Krahn advised me that he would either do the surgery in Ft. Lauderdale if Kissimmee was not ready, whichever comes first.. I'am alittle inpatient and would like the office staff to at least acknowledge the messages I have left x6 to advise on the next step....... I 'am just wondering if it is because I have medicare??? Will keep posted of new events.
05/13/02 Spoke with Elana (sp).. this am.
