I recently had a 5-hour long surgery at Hartford Hospital. I was nervous because it s a long time to be under general anesthesia (also my first time). I dreaded the thought of being at the hospital alone, without my family, and the reviews here made me even more scared.
I arrived at the hospital at 5:30AM and was welcomed by such nice people (who can be nice at 5:30AM?!) Everything was ready for me, and the nurses thoroughly explained how everything was going to go. The anesthesiologist team also came over and talked to me, explaining all the details and what to expect. At that point, I wasn t so nervous anymore. I was surrounded by people who seemed to genuinely care about my well-being.
The surgery went very well! Back at the recovery room, I woke up feeling so confused and scared. My nurse was a real angel who made me feel much more comfortable. She barely left my side, she listened to all my concerns and did everything to make me feel more comfortable. Later when my husband came to visit, he was surprised to see how happy I was.
We are forever thankful for the wonderful work you guys do! Thank you taking such good care of me.
