Worst experience I have ever had from a surgical staff in my life. The anesthesiologist and surgical nurse were ignorant at best to my needs. They left me alone over an hour after they pit my IV in. Did not give me anything to calm me down before they wheeled me down a dark, dank hallway with sinks and and other medical equipment; which was apparently the back of the operating room. Then still wide awake and terrified they take me into surgery. Now I'm terrified and trying to crawl off the table because I  have never been coherent before while being taken in to surgery. Finally they slam medicine in and I guess I passes out. After surgery I wake up in excruciating pain and the nurse tells me she can give me a Norco which I tell her I can't take because I will vomit, she tells me that's all she will give me, I take it in desperation and vomit it up within minutes while she is still in the room and says "well some of it got in your system. If you don't want the Norco then just take tylenol." I was left with 2 deep incisions and staples in my lower back which were very swollen, tender and painful. Which one of them is still swollen, tender and painful because the incision opened up and is still bleeding to this day. I was sick from the pain and discomfort for over 2 weeks, taking excessive amounts of OTC Ibuprofen and tylenol, throwing up daily. My surgeon was wonderful but the anesthesiologist and the surgical nurse were completely insensitive to my needs and taking me down that dark and dirty hallway while I was still awake and having a lot of anxiety over the whole procedure was like something from a horror movie. And to send me home in such pain, vomitting with no regard for my recovery, knowing I was in extreme pain and would continue due to the nature and area of the incisions was despicable. Not to mention the surgery started an hour later then scheduled, allowing my anxiety to escalate.  My surgeon was thr only person who talked to me with any care or concern. I traveled 80 miles to come to Christ hospital for this surgery because it has always been a wonderful hospital with excellent care. After this experience I am terrified to even go in to the building again and am very reluctant to have my other tumor removed there. I now have to find a new surgeon, sadly because Dr Bryce is an excellent, caring surgeon whom I trust but I don't trust Christ hospital anymore. I am still sick over the experience and the fact that I now have to search new hospital and surgeon for my other tumor removal. This experience made an already anxious patient even more scares and anxious. Shame
