October 16, 2009 - 1:07pm 98 reads 0 comments

Kate describes her stay at Alvarado Hospital following spinal fusion.

Kate:
Whenever I needed something while I was staying in Alvarado Hospital, all I needed to do is push a button and a nurse was there, whether it was because I was in pain, or I needed a question answered, or I was hungry, or I was thirsty, or I just needed somebody there, I just pushed the button and somebody was there to be there for me, which is I think optimal when you are kind of alone in a hospital if you are trying to recover from something pretty scary.

Hi, I am Kate. I had a spinal fusion performed by Dr. Raiszadeh, and I have shared my story, and I’d really like to hear yours.
