Hi Pat,
I couldn't agree more with Sara Anne. I know it seems redundant to say "stick to your guns", because I never doubted you would
My last TURB, I also did not meet the anesthetist that would be with me during the brief surgery. However, I was promised once again, my records would be read by the anesthetist before my surgery (I was told this with two previous surgeries, but still awakened very nauseous (for hours), after the surgery. My last surgery, (two years ago) after being wheeled into pre-op and aware I was not given any thing for nausea, I actually demanded to see the Chief of Anesthesia. Lucky he was available, but not a happy camper. He quickly read thur my history and ordered the meds I needed. For the first time at this hospital I did not wake up throwing up for the whole day. I am sure there is an asterik next to my name, but I bet they read my chart next time
You are so wise not to rush into a situation you are not comfortable with. Unfortuately, a lot of medical professionals feel they have seen everything and know all, but as a surgeon told me once - no matter how many other operations they have preformed before, this is the "first" time for you and you should expect (and demand) to be heard and hope for the best outcome.
Hang in there, Pat
