I always have chosen Lutheran General over hospitals that are closer to me, but this visit changed my mind.  The ER was fine, although they had trouble with my veins (which has never happened before).  The first nurse I had on floor 7 was good, but the rest were inattentive and pretty much left me on my own.  Questions went unanswered, and I was not at all listened to, but was interrupted any time I tried to ask questions or get information. Communication between medical providers seemed to be nonexistent. and I was without important medication for an entire day. First I was told I couldn't eat or have any water, then I was told I could at 10 pm (after my family had left so I wasn't able to get anything to eat).  I had no idea I was going to end up in the hospital for 2 nights, and it seemed like I could have been discharged after one if communication had happened.  I am sorely disppointed and will never choose Lutheran again.
