2btrim 129 Posted August 15, 2013 I've heard there are some Dr's that don't use a drain or take them out before you go to the hotel. But from what I understand correct me if I'm wrong, if the drain stays in after the leak test is done, you will also know if there is a leak if you see any blue dye in the drain. That's just what I've read, makes since though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBee 16 Posted August 16, 2013 I was discharged yesterday and am now at Marriott. I can not say enough great things about about the staff at Mi Doctor Hospital and Dr. Valenzuela and Dr. A ( for short) I can honestly say that besides the language barrier( which is not that bad) that was the best hospital experience I have ever had.. And sadly I work at a hospital that is ranked one of the top 50 hospitals in this United States.... I am so excited to start my new life. I am feeling great and I owe it all to my friends who took such wonderful care of me:-) gonna go out and do more shopping today, then home tomorrow . 3 PrincessSleeve, Esmeralda75 and mimimcd reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
