My mother was sent her by her oncologist in Asheville, because she has other health problems, and is considered high risk. She had cancer in her kidney, and had to have it removed. The Urologist and the anesthetic team were great, and very attentive during pre surgery prep. The same cannot be said of the nursing staff in recovery. She has to use a CPAP machine, and her anesthesiologist told us that as soon as the tubing was removed from her throat after surgery, she would need to be hooked up to a CPAP. She has been in her recovery room for nearly 4 hours, and still no CPAP is hooked up for her. Her IV machine has gone off 3 different times now, and each time has taken the nurse 5+ minutes to respond. Even though you can see nurses at the station from the room window. None of them moved to investigate why her machine was not working properly. When she asked for water, it took the nurse over 30 minutes to come back with water. So, at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center the MDs were great, but the recovery nursing staff was terrible.
