I would just like to say that my stay at Good Samaritan, all of the physicians and nurses during my stay were excellent and they were very hands-on and attentive. My only concern and my only dissatisfaction was with my referring physician, Dr. Mark Totara, and I spent several days trying to get him to return my call. He told me that I didn't have a blockage and in reality I did. And I spent one week totally dehydrated at Silver Cross Hospital and needed to get some kind of surgery to remove this mass and I waited and waited and waited and would not get approval from Advocate. So my upset with Advocate is really with the referring physician for a misdiagnosis.
