I had appendix removal surgery back in February. When I went in early morning I got into a room pretty quick they drew blood & put an iv in me but they didn't even give me anything for my pain. They told me they were gonna do a cat scan to see what was causing the pain but I waited over a couple hours for it. Once I finally got the scan it was to long after they told me I had appendicitis. After that is when I got some medication for the pain which by the way was the worse pain I've ever felt. Once they told me the results I spoke to a surgeon giving me the option to just take medications to take away the pain or have surgery to remove it. Of course I wanted surgery I didn't want the pain to come back. I was scheduled to have surgery at 12:30pm when that time came they told me the surgery was postponed till 3:30pm I waited all that time for surgery when my appendix could have ruptured anytime I should not have had to wait that long for it when it could have gotten more serious. I get there's other patients who may have had something worse but if it ruptured in me I would have to have emergency surgery. The only thing that was good was the nurses & doctors were so nice to me but that doesn't change the fact I had to wait so long for something this serious. The two stars are for everyone being nice to me & not having to wait to get checked in.
