RE: My broken hip experience, part 3, Pre-surgery briefing
I love how the doctor answered every single question you had and really went into detail about the surgery (with diagram ready and all 📊). I felt like it was one of those Grey's Anatomy episodes where they explain to the newbies what it's all about. You can kinda tell UCLA is a teaching hospital because she can explain it well and in a concise manner we'd all understand (I'm geeking out again, somebody stop me 🎓).
She's incredibly nice too! One of the things that my best friend who's a nurse always talks about is that bedside manner sometimes goes out the drain with some of the healthcare professionals and they don't usually care about their patient as much.
Also, on the background, I feel like you're surrounded by Filipino nurses 😂 (13:57 I swear they were speaking in Tagalog omg)
I hope we get to see what happens next though. I'm curious to see what it's like to have metal inside your bone 👀
I agree, that is a really good attitude for a doctor and I also agree with your friend who says that this good attitude from doctors is often missing. I know this sounds crazy, but I have even had some doctors threatening me and two doctors trying to forcibly have me locked up just because I did not accept everything they made up about me and I have had to turn to my embassy and threaten back with suing them to get out of the situation. Maybe those will be future posts on steemit haha.
I even have one of them recorded, in order to be able to prove that I was not making this up, but I was scared to use the recording as long as I was in that same area.
Funny with your Filipino countrymen (if nurses can be called countrymen) in the background. :)
