World Class Medicine
Today we waited for the call from the hospital that would tell us when Enrique's surgery will be held.
The phone didn't ring.
By the time Enrique called the hospital to find out, he was told there was no one there who could tell him.
He called his surgeon and she told him that the surgery will be at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow, with a 6:30 a.m. arrival time.
We frequently hear that UCSF is the best of the best. Often, it's believable.
Other times -- say, when they don't call to tell us when we need to arrive at the hospital for surgery -- we are left wondering.
In any case, the early surgery appointment is good. There's less chance of a delay caused by an earlier surgery and there's less time for Enrique to get hungry.
He won't be able to eat after midnight tonight. Luckily, we had a big, delicious dinner at Kokkari and are all ready to go a week or two without eating.
