The anesthesiologist was rude. Poor bedside manner. I brought a sealed snack for the pre surgical admitting nurse, that she left sitting on the bedside table.  So the anesthesiologist saw it and proceeded to sternly inform me how important it is that I not eat before surgery. I didn't need to be repremanded. The nurse already asked me when was the last time I ate and what medications I had taken that morning with sips of water. I'm sure it was charted. I spoke to anesthesia prior to surgery on the telephone maybe the day before related to, I have mycosis of the lungs (Received clearance from my pulmonologist for surgery) and my post COVID 3/31/20 status (my blood sugars elevate with any steroids - oral, IV or inhaled). Anesthesiologist insisted I nebulize prior to going into OR, the nebulizer tubing wasn't working properly.   I took alot of deep inhalation for at least 12 - 15 minutes, yet half of the solution was still remaining. I'm very thankful for the hospitalist. She was amazingly sweet, kind, respectful and understanding of our discussions.  She apparently  was aware of my elevated blood sugars from steroids and monitored it nicely. The morning and night nurses and nurses aids were amazing. They always greeted me with a smile and quick to accommodate my needs. They all were caring, compassionate,  competent, communicative, and had commitment. The desk clerk was just as nice, quick to answer the call button and inform staff of my needs (and my 90 year old room mate). They are a pretty great team! Illinois Masonic is doing something right from the hospitalist to the staff on that floor. Either all these individuals are there because they value providing care and compassion with commitment, courage, competence and, clear communication and/or you treat them with respect and dignity which carries over in their patient care values.
