I was in the clinic after heart surgery. The clinic is definitely in need of renovation. But the great and loving effort from the cleaning lady to the doctors is worth more to me than a single shower without a toilet. The kitchen was great! What annoyed me was partly the arogance of some patients instead

One has the feeling one (the health insurance) is being ripped off. Tests are carried out which are not necessary at all. No consultations with the family doctor or cardiologist. Apparently only young and inexperienced doctors are present.

Excellent cardiology. In my persistent atrial fibrillation with atrial thrombus, which lasted 3 months, the right steps were taken at the right time in every phase from thrombus dissolution to electrocardioversion and follow-up support.

Cardiology Dr Mutter
Incompetent, ignores what has been agreed. What happened in the surgery room is serious body harm. I had to look around for another clinic and had to be operated a third time. Inhumane this doctor. Not recommended. About the surgery:
Pacemaker, slipped after 1st intervention, 2nd intervention went very differently than agreed, pacemaker incorrectly placed and went through hell during surgery because I was denied sleep, the answer was too short; anesthesia was not sufficient; went to other Clinic which is great. (surgeon: Dr. Michael Mutter)

Was there almost a year ago, after many test for my heart I was told nothing wrong with my heart. Drs in basel spital told me lies. Today the dr told me they knew about my heart but did not say me. Trust has to be earned. It's a shame they don't understand what their oath was about!!!!!

Very positively I rate my experience with the nursing staff on the ward, the hotellery, the infrastructure of the room, the food. By contrast, the operation was unpleasant (see below). I felt treated like a piece of meat. The nursing staff in the theater, however, was friendly! About the surgery:
Cardiac catheter examination. Announced doctor was not present. No preliminary talk. Operation by "apprentice" without prior agreement. This one however appeared competent despite noticeable nervousness. Responsible doctor did NOT introduce himself! He wore no hood and nose was free despite the mask (surgeon: Dr. vermutlichFranzose Hatsichnichtvorgestellt)

Because of cardiac arrhythmias, I had a pacemaker implanted on November 2nd. A short “thing” of just under an hour. Thanks to the partial anesthesia, I was able to follow the interesting operation. Excellent work was done by PD Dr. Winnik and his team (also before the operation). About the surgery:
Removal of the event recorder, pacemaker implant. Everything went great, the extreme tiredness is now gone and I'm recovering quickly. I only feel a kind of muscle soreness in my left arm. Since there will be no more fainting spells, I will move much more confidently. (surgeon: Dr. Stephan Winnik)

Employees are colder than a piece of ice. Not friendly at all. They pretend, but you can tell it doesn't come from the heart! If you call in an emergency, you are usually turned away! I'm really speechless! I've never seen anything like that!

Clinic staff don't put their hearts into it, you have to explain yourself there, you don't get noticed, unfortunately the quality is very low. The only good thing was the smoking group. The rest was inadequate

They have optimized their processes to such an extent that they could just as easily replace the staff with robots - you can spend days in your bed without anyone caring about you.
I have seldom felt as lonely as I did there.
The heart is missing.

Competence is a foreign word. The Intern wanted to get her watch to measure my pulse. I pointed out that I'm on the monitor and she could read my heart rate there.
Had to tell her which curve displays the heart rate. Embarrassing!
