Just got a call from this number, displayed as Healthstream. I didn't pick up. I wish the DNC registry actually worked!!! It's so frustrating. I actually got a call in the middle of the night or Sunday morning after a long night of working and it woke me up. The person on the other end really got an earful. I know its their job but damn!
I called them back at 800-473-1771 and they told me they were calling to do a survey because of a hospital stay. I told them I would take their survey right then but they said that wasn't good for them. When I told them to take me off their list they said they would, lets see if they actually do.
I am and have been on a lung transplant list for two years now and to be truthful welcome a call from any body in a position to help improve my all to many stays in our local hospital. When these people call, answer and let them know what you think. In today's economy most hospitals are forced to hire hospitalists, Young fresh out of school doctor wanna be's making the rounds and discovering magical cures from their one page emergency questionaire sheets. My most recent visit my hospitalists assistant discovered fibrosis in my lungs (DUH) and freaked out sent me for an emergency ct scan STAT and sent me to my pulmonologist asap. It would have been nice if I could have understood her it would have been even better had she taken the time to pull my chart, quite extensive as I use this hospital exclusively, before coming to my room with the magical cure to all my ails. If you or a loved one was recently in the hospital give credit where credit is due, there are some caring human beings working hard and long hours to care for the sick and on the other hand dont forget to tell them about the old gal thats asleep and takes forever to answer that bell it's his or her job and if they dont want to be there when you need them they need to find employment in another field. This is your chance to be heard speak up
Umm Not sure how you get number to call, when we are protected and it is against the law to give out patients information. So if you are a member of some company that provides you with numbers, they are breaking the law. Seems to me that when someone tells your company do not call, the do not know what that means.
This is a legitimate call. My daughter was recently in the hospital for surgery and they told me I would get a call from a research company to do an over the phone survey about our recent visit. They called me once however I was at work and could not do the survey at that time. They tried again this morning, however I am at work and cannot answer. I may try to call them back later so they won't be wasting their time. But it is legit.
