I am not a healthcare professional although I am a professional in another field.
I am scheduled to have surgery next month and will be in the hospital for at least two nights following the procedure.
Would any of you be willing to provide some tips for being a "good" patient, promoting good rapport with my nurses, and hopefully receiving quality care?
One specific concern I have is that I suffer from enuresis at night. How will this be dealt with in the hospital? I don't want to make myself and this issue into a huge inconvenience for the staff. It's embarrassing but it's also the reality. Should I tell them about this problem or just let it happen if it happens? Should I bring my night time incontinence supplies with me?
thank you for any advice you can offer.
