Every once in a while you find the diamond-in-the-rough - something that is absolutely priceless. We all know that health care is not one of those things. Good healthcare is estimated to determine, and usually it comes with a great cost, either through health insurance or by direct payment. But there is a hospital, which relieves the patients, these costs, the implementation of the entire tab, while providing excellent health care, this place is Shriners Hospital forChildren in St. Louis, MO.
Shriners Hospital for Children in St. Louis has created one of the Shriners Temple and several hospitals in different cities throughout North America. The first hospital was in 1922 in Shreveport, LA opened in treating orthopedic injuries and malformations in children. Less than a century later there are 18 orthopedic hospitals, burn, burn the three hospitals and provide care and spinal cord.
In St. Louis Shriners HospitalOpened in 1924 and has in existence since time immemorial. I chanced upon a personal relationship with this hospital, because I was a patient there at three different times and for all orthopedic surgeries on his legs. Every time I was treated, the cost of my parents was the same - nothing. Involved in my treatment was surgery in the hospital (between 2 stay until 11 weeks, depending on the procedure), meals, physical therapy, outpatient care and much more. And my parentsnever had to spend a dime to take care of them space to concentrate solely on me.
Free Care is the standard for the Shriners Hospital created. From the beginning of a precedent, to know the cost to the patient and family control was enough to treat - and the precedent still stands today. Every year in St. Louis, we have the Shriners parade, where we looked to see Moolah Temple members enjoy riding in small cars, candy for the audience excited. This Spaßparade only tips of theIceberg of what they do, but. Shriner members spend each year develop fundraising efforts to the hospitals open and accessible to all, and they succeed every year. The result is for all persons under 18 years of working with an approved treatment granted, regardless of financial income.
After Shriners Hospital 's statistics, in 2006 the entire stretch of hospitals 38,984 new patients accepted and cared for 128,578 patients - impressive! But nothing is sowas impressive as the patient care received during a stay in hospital. My longest stay of a patient's my first in 1991 when I found a leg-lengthening procedure to me in the hospital almost three months. During this time I was in many physical and emotional pain, I had never away from home so long, and yearned for some normalcy. They tried to give their best in me and other patients with only the afternoon and evening are available every day,Trips to the St. Louis Zoo and other fun local attractions, and visits to famous athletes. And on a personal level, the nurses and the doctors were very sympathetic and loving, which made us all feel good.
Some patients, including my best friend during my first visit were from different countries and requires special attention. My friend was from Belize and was extended by two feet by the bowed legs as a result of rickets. Being so far from home, she neededfeel comfortable to Shriners Hospital why their mother, provided with free housing in a wing of the parents of the hospital during their stay, which lasted several months. Free housing is another mandate of the hospital, as well as free. Their services are virtually limitless.
At the time I was with my treatment of Shriners Hospital in St. Louis was finished, I had repaired two legs and a band. Could I walk with a senseperformance in the correction of problems that have grown legs, could serious in adults. But I also feel left care. At Shriners Hospital, they just did not care for fractures, they take care of people - just what are appointed by the patient.
