How Selected: The surgeon I selected works out of this hospital.
Comments: Right after surgery the nurses were very accomadating in letting my whole family be in the room with me. Even my two year old nephew, who was hysterical until I woke up from the anasthesia and told him I was okay. The response time of the nurses was sometimes a little slow, and there was no one to be found to wheel me out when i was ready to be discharged...my surgeon (Dr Greenberg) came in to find out if I was waiting around for something in particular, then wheeled me downstairs himself! I was bored, and time seemed to crawl by, but thats normal I guess.
