How Selected: It was the hospital that the dr chose to work at.

Comments: The only complaint that I had was a CNA who was working one night and every time she came into my room she would flip on the lights and as she took my bp, temp., and pulse ox....one at a time....she proceeded to smack on a piece of gum. OH MY GOD!!! Could she be any more annoying!!!!!! Not only was she taking her dear time in getting my readings and cutting on the light, but she WAS SMACKING HER GUM!!! The only other problem I encountered were staff who wore strong perfumes. After surgery my sense of smell was extremely sensitive and some of the smells were making me nauseous. Otherwise my experience was good.
