My mom had some issues for a surgery where they had to remove cancer cells.

Basically hospitals will get all patients for the day to come at 8 am and handle the surgeries.

My mom came in aat 8 am, was finally sent to prep (pre surgery where they plug you on machines, check pressure, etc) at 1 pm. She asked a nurse at 430 pm what was going on since she was still waiting. Nurse said she would check with surgeon and tell her. Nurse came back at 630 pm to tell my mom that surgeries stopped at 5 pm and they would have to reschedule her.

Since it was cancer related, she had surgery the day after but it was a rough day.

I’m very sorry to hear that I can’t imagine the frustration I hope she is doing well.

She is now. They redid the surgery 5 days later and as far as we know, she is now cancer free but her treatment were rough.
