Review of Maasstad Ziekenhuis

I don't really want to write reviews about hospitals. That is very specialized. And especially when it comes to doctors, one is okay with it, the other not at all. And what exactly do I know about it, I have a bit of medical background, but judging medical matters is very difficult. Of course you can write something about people, and therefore the staff, but don't shave it all together.
We know Maasstad, both my wife and I have been in it and his outpatient, who really wants to know, cardiology, stomach, liver, intestine, diabetes, dental surgery, eyes (have been to the Eye Hospital in the center more times they pick up your car, you don't have to walk far). There is a parking garage at Maasstad as well as at Ikazia, which is quite a distance from the entrance to the hospital, but there are electric carts, even newer and more spacious ones at Maasstad, but the people are volunteers. Then something about the hospital itself, at Maasstad they work with protocols, if you ask something ..... yes protocol. It drives me crazy, this is really human-unfriendly, so it is meant to be a human-unfriendly system, nothing is outside the protocol. I still dream of it at night, no sir that is not protocol. I've had keyhole surgery, bowels. Do you have to swallow that dirty stuff, it is so good that I had to swallow 6 liters in half a day, I know there is really something better and less dirty, but no protocol. Then I was allowed to go to the operation, you will get a whirl and then you will be completely gone, okay leave them, but I know myself better and I am not yet asleep from an elephant anesthetic. I have also experienced everything. very interesting to see your gut inside. Had a nice conversation with the doctor, everything was okay, I was just fully informed, but .... protocol I had to go to the recovery room. They left me there for more than an hour, while I was allowed to go home because I had nothing else. Protocol, protocol, so we go to the robots, you have nothing to say anymore. I will not talk about my room experiences, plenty of problems, cause far too few staff, cutbacks everywhere.
