Surprise to me! Obviously I had surgery in the AM and an overnight stay after that, although i was feeling very crummy i still was impresssed with the staff and the way they took care of me in a very kind and professional manner. Thank god for TVRH!
I can't believe you had to wait for surgery in the morning for acute appendicitis - my mother had surgery almost immediately in Bradenton for acute appendicitis - it was in the evening around 10 p.m. - isn't there an on call surgeon at this hospital for things like this - what about heart problems?
