I am sorry to say, that most hospitals here are hoping for "drive-by" surgeries and proceedures. They are in the business to make money now and care is secondary. I have nothing against doctors and nurses but I do have a big problem with the management of the hospitals and the insurance companies that really run the business.
Well, it's not like that here, but our health system turns more and more into a two-class system. There have severe changes been made, and not for a turn to the better for those who have only the "normal" health insurance coverage. More and more things you have to pay on your own, and don't think the health insurance itself is for free! They're getting almost 15% of my income!!


I hope that your privacy will be the biggest problem while you are there, since, in the scheme of things, will be over with as soon as you leave your hospital and go home.
Well, that's true. When it really turns out I have cancer, this will be a problem that lasts for the rest of my life.

When are you to be admitted?
I wish I'd know!! I have an appointment with the doctors in hospital tomorrow at 2pm, and my gyno said the surgery was scheduled for Tuesday, but I do not know whether I'll be admitted tomorrow in the evening, or on early Tuesday. Would prefer to stay at home that night and spend it with my girls!
