Language
barrier,
at
times
there
is
a
language
barrier
not
with
all
staff
but
with
some.
This
can
cause
confusion/frustration.
My
friend
was
very
afraid
of
getting
the
surgery
and
didnβt
always
have
the
reassurance
that
we
have
come
to
expect
with
the
bed
side
manner
we
are
accustomed
to.
There
is
a
culture
difference
-
she
was
rarely
βheardβ
when
she
asked
a
question
when
trying
to
get
information
she
wanted
about
what
was
happening.
Certain
doctors
talking
over
her
and
not
listening.
CON
-
Lots
of
people
I
mean
10
-20
filtering
into
the
room
continuously
at
all
times
of
day
and
night.
Sometimes
with
as
a
groups
of
5-7
doing
βroundsβ
I
imagine.
Light
is
turned
on
when
patient
is
asleep.
Waking
her
up
so
no
sound
sleep.
Some
of
this
is
understandable.
We
appreciate
the
fact
that
they
are
so
efficient
in
getting
all
the
testing
done
but
at
some
point
it
is
really
over
bearing
and
I
needed
to
step
in
and
ask
when
she
can
actually
get
some
rest.
CON
-
The
room
is
small.
Like
3mx3m.
With
a
hospital
bed
and
what
passes
as
a
bed
for
the
by
stander.(
a
set
of
wooden
open
draws
with
a
light
foam
covering
on
top)my
hips
were
in
pain
at
the
end
of
6
days.
In
communication
with
the
hospital
my
friend
was
told
that
the
support
person
would
have
a
room,
we
took
that
to
mean
I
would
have
my
own
room.
It
was
the
same
room.
There
is
a
toilet
and
a
bathroom
and
thankfully
air
conditioning.
(We
needed
the
air-conditioning
24/7.
The
window
is
not
really
a
window.
They
build
some
glass
wall
right
next
to
the
window.
There
is
a
canteen
on
the
5th
floor
but
no
where
else
to
go.
So
bring
your
lap
top,
books
to
read,
something
to
write
in
because
youβre
not
going
anywhere
for
the
time
that
youβre
there.
It
was
so
hot
and
humid
too,
the
hallway
wasnβt
air
conditioned
so
the
minute
you
leave
the
room
that
heat
hits
you
like
a
ton
of
bricks.
CON
-The
rooms
arenβt
all
that
sound
proof
on
our
floor
you
can
hear
other
people
in
other
rooms
in
pain
or
throwing
up(sometimes
all
night)
or
having
visitors
or
the
loud
buzzer
of
people
calling
the
nurses
or
the
loud
phone
which
echoes
down
the
hall.
The
first
few
nights
we
didnβt
hear
anything-
I
think
we
were
the
only
ones
on
the
floor.
CON
-
The
hospital
is
not
the
same
hospital
in
the
google
image.
It
is
aged
now.
CON
-We
asked
the
airline
for
assistance
for
my
friend
(Which
I
highly
recommend)
because
we
had
a
massive
day
of
flying
ahead
of
us.
We
got
to
the
airport
and
because
my
friends
surgery
happened
less
than
a
week
prior
we
almost
were
not
accepted
onto
the
plane.
You
need
discharge
paperwork
or
a
medical
certificate,
which
we
didnβt
get
or
even
know
we
needed.
It
was
1am
and
no
one
at
the
hospital
was
picking
up
(understandably)
the
airline
called
their
team
of
doctors
and
it
was
at
their
discretion
whether
or
not
we
were
cleared
for
flying
that
day.
What
a
stressful
event
that
was.
Luckily
after
what
seemed
like
an
age
we
were
cleared
to
fly.
I
am
the
kind
of
person
that
likes
to
be
informed
before
I
make
a
decision.
I
didnβt
feel
like
I
was
informed
enough
to
prepare
myself
mentally
for
this
difference.
Would
I
recommend
people
come
to
this
hospital?
Absolutely.
They
are
so
committed
to
you
to
your
health
to
bettering
their
hospital
(Sanjeev
leads
this
wonderfully
with
immense
regular
staff
training).
This
is
a
different
world
to
mine.
Could
I
have
stayed
at
the
hotel
down
the
road?
absolutely,
however
I
felt
my
role
was
as
the
support
person
and
I
was
there
to
support
my
friend
through
the
whole
process.
Could
I
have
left
the
hospital?
Yes
of
course
I
couldβve,
again
i
was
there
to
support
my
friend
and
also
as
a
woman
travelling
alone
I,
personally,
wouldnβt
risk
it.
That
was
my
experience
and
mine
alone.
I
hope
you
make
the
decision
that
is
right
for
you
but
know
if
you
come
to
this
hospital
you
will
certainly
get
some
of
the
best
specialists
in
the
world
and
people
with
heart
who
are
dedicated
to
your
care.
