Communication is disastrous, they have forgotten to send me a summons three times already. Communication between departments seems to be non-existent. Four weeks later, I am still waiting for the operation report and the report of my tissue examination, which I was supposed to receive after 10 days. 

About the surgery:

Conization, to this day it is unclear what the result of the tissue examination was and whether they cut out everything.

Unsuccessful large lung operation, result: mother takes a long time to recover, was not necessary at 74 years old. They promised high chances of recovery, time has been lost in rehab/recovery, now they are pushing for quick chemo and radiotherapy. Pat only wants palliative therapy, doctors are arrogant

In the ER I was only told that it was a fracture. I was given a gilet to immobilize. I was put off work for a week. I was sent home with a prescription for painkillers. 1 week. later the fractures were heavily displaced. 

About the surgery:

Before the operation I was given a pain cataract, which was very painful. It slipped out about 15 hours after the operation, apparently it was a manufacturing defect, that happens sometimes. The staff was overwhelmed because they couldn't get my pain under control. I felt like a guinea pig. Great scar.

I could only move around in the hospital with the help of a walker. When I was discharged, the doctor treating me told me that my family doctor would get me another one through Spitex. This information is incorrect. You have to buy the walker yourself (and the insurance doesn't pay for it, by the way).

Surgery very satisfied, see below. BUT: After an accident, I came to the ER, where mistakenly a stroke was diagnosed and an emergency anticoagulation was performed. This was very risky, therefore 3 days of monitoring before the knee surgery was possible. Emergency room NEVER again.

A hospital which corresponds to the high standards of the Swiss health care system. During the reconstruction phase it was partially chaotic. As usual, quality depends on who's on duty. Mostly good though.
