I had a terrible experience at SA HOSPITAL. I arrived at my scheduled time at 8 am. I was taken to a room at the end of the hall, an IV was put in my arm and I was hooked up to the machine. The nurse left the room and closed the door. I was not given a buzzer and nobody came to check on me ...after 4 hours I was frantic and yelling as loud as I could for a nurse. Nobody came. Finally a young man came and wheeled me down to the surgical area where I waited another hour in the hall because the anesthesiologist was late! Finally he arrives and the spinal surgery begins.
I wake up in the e operating room laying on my stomach, fully awake, hearing every word the surgeon us saying, hearing the team scrub up in the ajoining room!! I am paralyzed and cannot speak or move. That is the last thing I remember until I wake up in the recovery room. I remember thinking...I boy, I'm in serious trouble here!!!!
After the surgery, I spent one night in the hospital, again very poor nursing care. The final straw was upon discharge the bill was three times more than the surgeon had quoted!!! And after one year the surgery failed and i recently had a second surgery, this time in Guadalajara Country 2000 Hospital where the care was perfect, the surgeon a masterful talent and the bill was one third of what SAN ANTONIO charged.
Stay away from that place! I wouldn't take my dog there!
