The nurses in Recovery were very good. However I sat in Recovery 6 hours and would have had to spend the night there were it not for a family member seeking out a hospital administrator and demanding that they have a room for a patient they scheduled for surgery. It wasn t like it was a surprise that I was there. They found a room for me in another ward (7th Floor) and if I could rate the care I am receiving as a ZERO I would. I have been asking for hours about getting the compression machine that is supposed to be on my legs. After repeated requests/hours later I was told that they have done a lot of surgeries today and can only find one cord. I guess they re not concerned about a potential post surgery blood clot killing me.
I have some bleeding-probably normal but I wanted to mention it. I told the nurse. She had no clue what to say/do so she had to page the doctor. She is very unfamiliar with the various pain meds he ordered and had to call pharmacy twice in order to answer some basic questions (eg does the Tylenol have cosine in it?). It took 2 hours for her to get the pain meds IV.
She is tentative on her actions as if it s her first time doing by herself.
She doesn t have a good command of the English language which is an impediment to her ability to communicate with me as a patient. She doesn t seem to either understand or retain info. Eg I asked if the pitcher had water and she said no because she wasn t sure of any dietary restrictions even though I had already told her I was given food and coke downstairs. Later she said the IV could be removed only if I had resumed the ability to take liquids. I reminded her that I had coke downstairs and had just drunk a full cup of water that she brought me.
There are other things like asking me if I have 2 IVs which are clearly visible from the ports, and asking me questions like why I have 2 IVs and where my fluids are. She had absolutely no care instructions for me so my family member had to go to the nurses station to ask what the doctor had instructed. The CNAs aren t any better and I have called the nurses station 3 times now asking if someone could please close my door so I can buffer the noise of the woman across the hall yelling out. I d do it myself but I am hooked up to all kinds of things and cannot get out of the bed. 3 1/2 hours later and three calls to the nurses station and my door is still open. These are just a few of my experiences and is not some up the entirety of this poor care experience. I think I would preferred to be discharged to the street.
