I'm sitting in my hospital bed the day after knee replacement surgery and friendly nurse comes in and says "I going to give your another shot antibiotics". "Funny but I don't remember getting a shot of antibiotics". The nurse get a puzzled look on her face and says "I'll check". She comes back and says there must have been some kind of mixup because it looks like you didn't get the antibiotics prescribed before this...
My surgeon stressed the danger of infection and what could happen if I got one ..frankly it scared the heck out of me. The swabbed my nose With a thickened red surgical solution, they took a preoperative swab from my nose for Mirsa and washed my knee countless times. Now they dropped the ball big time.
I ask the nurse to bring the head nurse in so she could explain how this happened .. more for the next guy or gal who comes also... in the just an honest mistake ... hey do you think they will forget the bill too?
I should say they were extremely nice to me...
