Everyone was super sweet, my doctors were sweet, everybody was sweet, but the procedure was, I don't feel like, it was very painful. I feel like it should be done in a way that is less uncomfortable. I had a port removal and it was excruciating. There's gotta be a better way. When we put it in, we put you to sleep, y'all put me to sleep, but taking it out was torturous. We've got to come up with a better way to do that. But everybody was super sweet.

Okay, the most recent thing I've gone to is Dr. Wiggins' office. I think he seemed to be an awesome doctor. He was very thorough and gave me lots of information and his staff was excellent. So, yes, I would highly recommend Dr. Wiggins.

I just feel like I wasted one of my slots on Medicad for nothing. I didn't get help just got told there were options to do but he didn't want to do it. Every person is different what doesn't work for others could work on other people. But I just got told to go back to gi who hasn't done anything to help. I still hurt and still dealing with the issues for what reason I have no clue. Healthcare isn't what it use to be and has gone down hill so bad. I guess instead of trying anything that could help someone we just let the person hurt and be miserable it took me two years to get in to see the surgery department just to be told there are options but I'm not doing it. You could have told me that over a message instead of me wasting a slot. I am so tired of hurting and no one trying anything to help me!!!!

I for the most part have always had a good stay. Nurses are always sweet and full of knowledge. I like that the pharmacy has come up to let me know they can have your meds ready for when you leave the hospital.
