Conamaugh Hospital Medical Center
"The nurse that tried to do my first iv was my nightmare. blew the two good veins I had and was not very nice she was more concerned talking to my husband about her son going to iraq if there is a draft not very nice at all. I did end up with an angel though she came to gt my blood pressure knew I was upset and got someone else who had the surgery to talk to me. I ended up getting my central line and my artery line without any sedative and could not believe I did it. All because of the witch who tried to put a line in me with my arm hanging out from a chair no pillow or anything to est it onand I am very hard to stick after not eating even for 24 hrs let alone 96 hrs.

"I met Dr. Victor Novak on January 19 2004 my first impresion was good he came to the door t get each patient himself and when he came out he was very nice. My one on one with him I felt a little diffrent he is a very busy man and he had a patient with a problem there that day and I believe this was the reasoning that he was not exactly as I expected then.But I was also very disappointed that I could not go lapro because he has not started yet and he will not do a bmi over 50 and mine is 60 but he does have a excellent recovery rate for open 1 and 1/2 days in hospital and 2 weeks return to work. I called him when I got home because I was not going to do it with him and I was going to cancel the testing but he really turned me around with that talk he was very honest and told all I needed to know and made me feel very comfortable. I am looking forward to seeing him again and getting scheduled. Well I had my egd and my gall ultra sound today what a breeze I was so scared and what a easy thing. "
