St Luke's Radiology

Feb 2024

i am impressed with this hospital. I had an excruciating headache that refused to go away, so I took myself to the ER, feeling like i would just be sent home with a migraine. well, i was NOT. they did everything, every test on my brain that they could, they did a stroke work up, a neuro consult, multiple scans and labs. what they found was that i had intercranial hypertension and an anomaly in my cranial blood vessels. WOW. They absolutely did not stop until they found the answer. Now i am home on blood pressure meds and rest until my blood pressure gets under control. i am so grateful that they took me seriously and didn't send me home with just a headache. well done.

Here is my review of the Intensive Care Unit at UnityPoint Health - Sioux City... If you find yourself needing medical assistance, consider yourself blessed if you're sent to the ICU at St.Luke's. When I first arrived via ambulance, they unloaded me onto the bed in ICU Room 10. From there, it was a flurry of gloved hands and intrusive wires as four masked angels descended on me like vultures on roadkill. They hooked me up, checked my vitals, and kindly welcomed me, in a matter of seconds. (It was super speedy,l I almost missed it. These people are turbo-charged, no lie.) For the next 9 hours, I was thrilled they left my door open so I could hear all the conversation at the nurses' station. It's nice to know these people, who deal with such intimate and scary cases on a daily basis, can keep their sense of humor in the wake of it all. My nurse, Kendra, who looks half her age and carries herself with the grace of a beauty queen, was so sincerely kind and helpful and didn't bat a beautiful eyelash at any request I had. She made me so comfortable and eased any embarrassment I had. She answered all my questions with the wisdom of a thousand fortune cookies. When I was frightened, she helped to calm me with a gentle mix of shoulder pats and pharmaceuticals. And don't get me started on the support staff. From the cheerful gentleman who emptied the sharps boxes to the nursing assistants, from techs to housekeeping, everyone was just as nice as an old friend. I am so glad I found myself at St.Luke's. I mean, I'm not, but I am. *Points deducted for lack of petting zoo and ice cream parlor. *Update: The DO have a petting zoo. I'm not surprised.
