"Expected to get up too soon after surgery"

About: Knox Private Hospital

(as the patient),

Had a prostatectomy. Surgeon was fine until after surgery when I believe I was made to feel that everything was my fault. My understanding was that I was apparently expected to be up and jogging the day after over 4 hours of surgery with 3 tubes in me. The surgeon did their rounds with a senior nurse who I feel was also critical of me. I believe this surgeon will not forward information or refer me elsewhere.

In terms of the hospital, admittance was good. Nurses were good, pleasant room and very reasonable food especially given the number of meals which are prepared.
