I am not satisfied with the hospital.
The surgeons are great in terms of what they are doing, they have done a great job with my eyes, I can't complain.
But what I did not like are the nurses (some of them), assistants and other medical personal, and the chaos overall in the hospital.
First of all, before the surgery I was going to get a general anesthetic, so they brought me in to the anesthetic room and as I understand, in this little room, there should be only me, anesthetist and his/her assistant. However, while they were putting me in to sleep, the surgeon came in to read some documents (why?) then behind me from the doors leading into the corridor, a few nurses (I hope they were nurses, I didn't see them) were coming in and out of the room. I felt like I was not in the hospital but in a busy street with a heavy traffic!!! And all these made me worried hell of a lot before the surgery!!!
Then after the surgery, when they brought be into the general wards. They did not allow me to sleep even for one hour! I knew that they were going to finish their shifts at 8pm, but allowing me to sleep for one hour wouldn't make any harm to anyone, and I still could walk out from the hospital before 8pm. The nurses were loud and doing everything to make me leave, and I would say they did not even try to do it politely, they were kind of a rude! (again, not all of them, there were a couple of nice nurses)
So it s all left me with disgusting feelings, I hope to forget all this experience as soon as possible.
