I arrived with my wife at Wsley Long Hospital promptly at 10 AM for nonn surgery. After discussions with the nurses and Anesthesiologist I waited only about an hour. I was taken into sugery about 15 minutes early. Dr Newman and his team performed the surgery which took approximately 1 1/2 hours. The wait for a room was about an hour.

 

Once in the room I met all the nurses and technicians. EVryone was veryattentive and helpful. I got out of bed within the hour to go to the rest room. I was provided with a 2 oz cup of ice which I immediately sucked down bbbecause my mouth was so dry. I asked for more and was told not for 4 hours.

 

There was a definate drop off in service at night. The nurses were fine but th etechs were less than attentive. Minor inconvenience as if you look at the entire picture.

 

I was awakened promptly at 4 AM to draw blood. At 6AM I was awakened again for a heperin shot. Finally, at 8 am I was wheeled downstairs for an x-ray.

 

Dr Newman visited about 9:30 and ordered a protein shake (2 oz). After finishing the drink I got the hiccups.

 

I was wheeled down to the hospital exit at 11:30.

 

Overall, not much pain.
