I was very disappointed in my experience this time. I have never had surgery before. When I was brought back to my room, I was taken to the bathroom first and then instructed to change (leaving on underwear only). I was coming in to have a fracture repair done on my ankle, so could not walk and bathroom/changing was very difficult. Then I was put in bed. Then a different staff member came in and said pregnancy tests are mandatory and needed to take my blood since I already went to the bathroom and wasn't told this. Plus I had to then try to change into hospital underwear since no street clothes allowed. Very poor communication. Then I was asked to sign a waiver saying I declined the pregnancy test because the results were not in when the team was ready to take me back for prep and surgery.  After surgery I felt very rushed to leave. When I finally said I was ready to try going to the bathroom after declining a few earlier attempts by multiple staff, I was extremely rushed and felt very disrespected by the two staff helping me in the bathroom (one more so than the other). Plus I was very nervous considering I had just had anesthesia and I was very used to taking extreme care with my splint since I had an unstable fracture for 10 days prior to surgery. They did not take any care at all I felt. They then rushed me back to my room and immediately started changing me in to my street clothes to discharge me. I was in tears at how abrupt they were and how I was being treated and handled. I asked a few times if they could just let my husband help me and they ignored me. For my first surgical experience here, it was awful as far as the support staff. The man who transported me back to surgery and my doctor were great, but the ending was really terrible.
