She wasn't my surgeon and was unaware of my case. She thought I had a appendectomy without complications and was unaware that I was there to have a drain removed.

Needed to tell him my phone doesn't always work. The Cancer/pancreas people never got through to me that afternoon by phone.

I spent the majority of the visit with a medical student rather than the doctor, but this review is for the doctor. I wish I had spent more time with the doctor instead.

The attending was excellent. the resident had a poor bedside manner and did not complete the procedure satisfactorily. Unfortunately the attending left the room while he closed the incision. He should have been able to to do this as he was a third year resident, but the incision continues to leak blood 4 days after the procedure.
