Went into the hospital for a laparoscopic abdomina...

Went into the hospital for a laparoscopic abdominal procedure and was to stay over night for observation. The pre-op and PACU staff was nice enough- no problems there. In the OR, I was absolutely treated like a slab of meat. Nobody made the effort to look at me, greet me or make any pleasantries whatsoever. I was transferred to the OR table, strapped down and the mask slapped over my face before I was even sedated. VERY unnerving to say the least. The day of discharge, I got home and got a good look at the three small incisions in my upper abdomen; two of the three were already showing infection (oozing green pus). Since the surgical dressings had not been touched since they were applied, it is obvious that the infection was acquired from a dirty OR. Required a visit to my PCP and a prescription. Within three days of discharge I was back at my PCP and was diagnosed with HAP (hospital acquired pneumonia); the direct result of a dirty facility. Long story short- I will definitely avoid Vandy in the future. I came out much, MUCH sicker than I went in.
