As for the robot, it's too bad the personality isn't there. I have started calling people on that shit but you probably had more important and serious things to think about. That being said, those robots are highly trained and know there stuff..... I cry when I wake up after being under too!

I lay there with my eyes closed and heard the nurse softly ask "how are you feeling". I softly replied "fine". "Do you know what day it is?" "Yes, it's Sunday" Do you know where you are?" "the Civic Hospital" And then in her angelic voice she asked "Do you know we had to amputate one of your legs?" My eyes shot open and I sat bolt upright and to my relief the nurse was actually talking to the older gentleman in the bed beside mine.

He told me that if I were his daughter, he would recommend a general that day (I was upset already because my ex husband was late for the birth) instead. I took his advice and didn't regret it.

All the best for your recovery. Re the double standard in people's expectations of female vs male health-care practitioners, I would argue that that double standard exists in many (most?) other professions that involve any amount of social interaction. I can say from experience that it's certainly true about students' expectations of professors/teachers! My students expect a lot more from me than from my male colleagues. I am expected to be nicer or to be a "mommy" even to the ones who are my age or older! Glad to hear the surgery went. All the best for your recovery.

Yes, not every person in hospital friendly, but as long as he is competent, i will choose him over smiling and uncompetent fool. I wish you speedy recovery, take care of yourself.

LOL. And I cry after any sort of anesthetic including the dental stuff. Glad they gave you good meds, maybe robot doc is the QCH’s answer to the doctor shortage… they look human but… LOL.
