UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital

UK Health Care Chandler Hospital is a lovely facility.
My wife went to the ER for complications after an appendectomy. The care wasn’t perfect but it was very good.
We waited in the adult ER for about 20 minutes — in pretty severe pain. They brought her in and the male nurse who took her vitals (Tre) was an instant relief. He was calm, empathetic, warm, and professional.
Although they did not have a room for us (130 others in the ER that morning!) we were accommodated in a hall. My wife received IV painkillers, and water. Eventually we received a CT scan and antibiotics.
She stayed a total of 4 days. The food was not delicious, and sometimes late. The nurses were, as a rule, friendly, professional, and helpful. The doctors were very good
Because she was «admitted» but remained in the ER, she witnessed some crazy things. The UK ER gets all kinds of people: drunks, drug addicts, felons (accompanied by marshalls!), and other unsavory folks who need health care just like anyone.
Our discharge was a bit awkward. We were glad to get home but no one really told us we were discharged until the pharmacist gave us meds. The nurse confirmed that we were going home, took her vitals, and we were happy to leave.
The food at the cafeteria and coffee shops were good. The ambience and beautiful architecture of the hospital were wonderful.

Sorry excuse for a birthing center. I’m daughter n law had an appt to be induced to give birth to my grandson. She had the appointment for a week today she want in at her scheduled time at 8am. They told her that the hospital was full and they couldn’t take her today. What would have happened if she was in full blown labor (let her have him at home) this is the worse hospital I’ve ever seen
