"After being released from ICU, I had to share a room with a VERY noisy woman who had very little consideration for anyone but herself--requested a room change, but never got it. I had to stay for a total of 7 days because my doc (who recently was killed in Iraq) couldn't get me in for the swallow test--radoilogy deemed me a low priority. Overall, though, a good experience. "
"4/24/2002--I have only met with Dr. Taylor once, but so far, I think he is great. I went into his office KNOWING that as a military doc, he was going to expect me to beg, plead, and jump through hoops and then I would be told that I had to have numerous appointments. NOT SO! He quickly measured me, quizzed me to see how much I already knew about the Open R-N-Y (he won't do lapro at all yet), and told me I was a prefect candidate. His office staff was just what you would expect from the military (if you are military, you know what I mean). He was careful to make sure that I have a backup plan as far as family or friends to help me with my kids after surgery if my hubby is away (which he will be). He seemed a bit rushed (again--just like all military docs), so we didn't have much time to discuss the risks, etc. He told me whom to call to set up my next evals, and I have already done that. I will post more about him when I see him again next month!!!"
