HOSPITAL IS BLOODY BRILLIANT


In the rush to tell stories of me ear operation, the old geezer forgot to tell of his visit to hospital where the surgery was performed.

Renown Medical Centre, located in Downtown Reno,NV.

The lovely staff there makes it every so easy to check in the day of surgery.  No trip to hospital is met with undiluted pleasure, but to get warmly greted and guided through the process sure makes it so much easier to take.  From the 'meet and greet' at reception, to the passing through to the nurses in the surgery suite, it all gets one to feel that the outcome will be as painless as possible.




The old geezer did not overnight in hospital, nor was he going to overnight after surgery.  The snap is of one of the surgery areas, where they get you ready to go into the operation theatre.  Here, the nurse does the chart work, places the IV to get ready for the drugs that will put you under, takes clothes for safe keeping and locks them up.  There is a chair provided, so that person who waits for, can be comfy.  It is also here one returns, after the surgery.

There is a curtain round, for privacy.  One gets the feeling that the staff has all of the bases covered.  It is rather cheerful.

In the UK, there is the NHS, a national health scheme, and one reads of how horrid it can be for some folks.  I do not know that to be true from personal experience, having never been ill in UK.  Mind,like the UK, there are some in this country that complain of how horrid a trip to hospital can be.  The old geezer must have extraordinary luck in choice of hospitals, as none have not been good.  In truth, Renown tops the list of brilliant care centres.

The above snap pokes fun at hospital in UK.

Renown is not an object of a laugh to MOI.  Days after surgery, members of the surgery staff rang up at home and followed up with Paul as to me progress.

If that were not enough, the other day a greeting card landed in me post, wishing me well.  Fancy that.

The old geezer hopes that many moons will pass before a return to hospital is needed.  Should there be the need, you can be sure that Renown will be the place visited.   They are the best.  Better than brilliant, the staff at Renown is legend...
