get out of surgery the nurses in the in the receiving room will make sure that you're medicated
and we'll get you back to the room and we'll make I'll make sure that you haven’t your pain

up-and-down thing and was really rough and then she I asked for some medication and she didn't

again like I yelled for her and I buzzed for her and she never came back at all and I couldn't
sleep and it was really noisy ..I know there was a bunch of noise down the hall and you know she
was just awful I mean it's terrible she's one of the worst nurses I've ever seen.
