Re: ERCP/stents at Univ. Hospital (CO)

October 18, 2007

, I had two ERCPs done in June at Fitzsimmons, and both of them

went smoothly. Dr. Fukami is extremely proficient, and a hell of a

nice guy. I had lots of other tests and procedures done there in July

and August (including tx), and they all went very well, too. I would

say that the one area where Fitzsimmons still needs fine tuning is

that they have basically doubled the number of patients they're

serving on the new campus, but they haven't yet figured out the new

staffing requirements. Some of the nurses on the transplant ward were

complaining about this issue while I was there, and it was easy to see

that they were overworked and understaffed at times. Overall, though,

the quality of service was excellent.
