Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 by my surgery because of what I heard after being helped on to the operating table. I felt I had to take some proactive action so I went to the hospital's website and sent the following comment. I had a mastectomy at your facility on March 29, 06. I never received a patient survey. The last thing I heard, after being helped on to the operating table was, " We need to take her arm out " . I knew why that was necessary! Because of this, the last thing I thought of, before being anesthesized. was that my breast was going to be exposed and cut off! NOT A GOOD THING! Perhaps expressing such things in a different manner would make things more comfortable for the patient whether they are awake or not. The mind whether in a conscious or unconscious state is a powerful thing. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
