My husband came here for a good old scoping out of the stomach and booty.
(At the same time, mind you. which still seems insane and over-​the-​top to me, but if you’re already sedated, why not go in both ends at the same time, right?)
The waiting room and bathroom were really clean and comfortable. They had some coffee and a TV and everything looked new (no stacks of VHS tapes here!).
I sat back there with him until they wheeled him away. It was really quiet, except for his neighbor snoring and our snickering at him. The nurses checked in him every 10 – 15 minutes or so.
They let me leave to drop my kids off and run to Target while he was being probed. This was nice, because I’ve gone to a few places and they make you sit there and wait, like you’re going to ditch your loved one there and never come back. «Sorry, gotta walk home, Drooly.» (Yay for knocking out my husband and letting me go to the store.)
When I got back, they brought me into recovery to sign for his stuff and give us post-​op instructions. The male nurse talked really fast and had a thick accent, so I wasn’t always sure of what he was saying, but I was also exhausted, so it could have been me.
They wheeled him out and got him in the car for me. They were really polite and friendly, save the receptionist who looked at everyone like they were a pain in the ass.(Ha. See what I did there?).but she still answered questions.
They lose a whole star because the doctor didn’t come in after the procedure to talk to us about what he saw. I understand, he has a follow-​up appointment in ten days, but it was unnerving to get a call from the office later in the day, telling my husband to have me pick up TWO strong antibiotics that he has to take every 6 hours for the next week and a half. No explanation why. So now we have to wonder what is going on and if the dude has parasites or an infection or whatnot. Oy. (If you’re looking for a good time, Google «parasite colon.». You’ll never eat spaghetti again without grimacing.)
It was clean, can’t complain.
