Asked staff to change TV channel due to the stress on family member about to have surgery. CNN was on and asked to change to something more neutral like HGTV. News about politics and violence is not what a patient needs to watch or listen to before going into surgery. The same day surgery receptionist advised that the channel could not be hanged or turned off. That is their policy. Guess patients don t come first!!
