Comments: NO PROBLEM WITH ANYONE EXCEPT NURSES. DID NOT GET THE PROPER CARE. THEY LEFT MY SURGICAL STOCKINGS OFF WHEN THEY TOOK ME TO THE BATHROOM. NEVER PUT ON AGAIN. I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO WALK ALONE BUT THEY NEVER WALKED ME AND IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO WALK. I HAD OPEN RNY, AND EXPECTED TO GIVE MYSELF A PATH WITH A SOAPY WASH RAG. I GOT NO FARTHER THAN MY FACE AND CHEST. WAS THE ONLY BATH OFFERED MY WHOLE STAY. THERE WERE 2 ORIENTAL MALE NURSES THAT WERE VERY ATTENTIVE WHEN THEY WERE ON DUTY, BUT THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES. BUT I BLAME MYSELF BECAUSE I AM NOT A COMPLAINER. THIS HOSPITAL NEEDS MORE DEDICATED NURSES.
