I just had surgery on my arm- a titanium plate was screwed to my broken arm bone - first I was very upset with the terrible vague directions I received via/email /text- we ended up parking in the wrong garage because the address was wrong - to vague as there are many buildings all together at the same address- GPS had us pull into wrong garage to park - I was late to my appt. Because of parking fiasco- receptionists were very kind and I didn't have to wait long to be taken back to prepare for surgery- #1 issue: the Asian male nurse was very rough inserting the IV/ needle into my hand- it hurt like hell and I saw the back up of blood - so I've had this done enough to know the difference between someone who takes the time to find the damn vein and is not rough and this guy who obviously didn't care- then the lady I think her name was Ashley asked me a ton of questions not once but she came back and asked some of the same after I'd been given a drug to make me groggy- that was weird! #2 after surgery when I was just starting to come to and wake up one of the male nurses started telling me I could dress when I felt up to it - I wasn't even fully conscience and I had a terrible dry mouth - I felt dizzy, I felt nauseas , I was disorientated and weak and the guy kept urging me to get dressed- told him I needed something and he never offered water or jello something wet and soft to swallow as my throat was so dry - instead he gives me dry crackers which caused my throat to be sore and NO WATER! Just kept telling me when I'm ready to get dressed I can go- un freaking believable treatment ! It's not that anyone was outwardly mean; just pushy and made you feel like cattle - like they didn't care about your comfort just moving you out the door as quick as possible - my Dr. was very nice and attentive and talked to my husband after my surgery which most of the drs. Don't even bother doing they push that off on the nurses !
