After day surgery, a responsible person must accompany the patient home. Patients should not be alone for 24 hours following surgery. Some surgical procedures require the patient to be admitted to the hospital after the operation. In those cases, the patient is admitted to the hospital inpatient unit after his or her procedure.
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CARE? During your stay at Brockville General Hospital, we want you to feel comfortable about the care you receive. Please feel free to ask questions at any time of your health care providers, whether a nurse, doctor, or therapist. 1. Ask your nurse her name. At the start of each new work shift, the nurses will introduce themselves to you. 2. Your nurse can answer many of your questions about your care. 3. If you have further questions, issues or concerns that haven’t been answered by your nurse, please ask to speak to the Charge Nurse or the Unit Director.
