The experience I received pre-op was amazing. After i woke up I didn’t feel well at all. The attending nurse that was there didnt care that I felt sick after anesthesia. She was more concerned about getting my bp and getting me out of there. I asked if she could give me a moment due to feeling very nauseous. She said no, i have another patient i need to get in this room. I asked why she was being so combative she said she wasn’t and that wasnt the right word to us on her. She then proceeded to hurry up me up to get me out. Im dyslexic and put the number down wrong for my driver. She was also upset that the number I gave was wrong and therefore taking me longer to basically go away. And then proceeded to tell me to go to the hospital. I got dressed so fast i forgot my underwear at the facility. The nurse after the fact texted my driver to give him discharge instructions. I honestly felt so scared and confused on what i was supposed to do for myself. I know i should’ve been
Easy, quick, and friendly. Very professional.
