Wow, it's a noisy busy neighbourhood by Lenox Hill! I guess I'll get a small taste of what it would feel like fairly soon, if the insurance approves this.
Maria, I think it is a good idea to have a chat with Dr. Bitan about that. He seems great about things like that, so I think he would give me an honest opinion. Thanks!

Katie,
In California, private nursing in the hospital is rare but there are patients that have nursing assistants that stay with them. They can usually take vital signs and wash and bathe patients, just depends. I would however have someone stay with you in the hospital if possible. There are a lot of mistakes made in hospitals. It is a good rule to ask what medications you are receiving. Even the best nurses make med errors and if anyone tells you differently they are lying. Having a list of your medications (that you take at home) go with you to the hospital is a good idea. Communicate with your doctor about what medications are ordered for you while you are in the hospital. k
