Debra L.
Discharge of Elderly Mom
Review is in regards to Methodist Willowbrook Hospital in Houston, Texas. Only giving 2 stars because of the condiition my 87 year old Mom was under when being DISCHARGED by Dr. Derek Woo today 12/7. She was admitted to hospital Wednesday, 12/3 after being in ER. I cannot say enough wonderful things about ER Nurse Practioner, Sonia Garza. She was amazing and Mom's vitals were actually better under her care then following day under Hosptal's Dr. Derek Woo's care. Mom had a severe UTI and although they got a handle on it, other then a Nurse helping her to get in a wheelchair 3 days ago, nobody has been in since with regards to working with her to obtain strength. Her knees were as swollen {due to Edema} as they were when admitted. I questioned why Dr. Woo had not prescribed a Diuretic. Nurse Nicole said we would need to contact Mom's PCP who was not involved with ER or Hospital visit! Why would Dr. Woo or the Cardiologist who were over her care since 12/3 not prescribe a Diuretic. Upon getting home, her legs were so weak it took an hour for her to get in bed! With regards to ER Nurse Practioner Sonia Garza and Nurse Alex Lara (North Building, 5th Floor), both should receive 10 stars!!
