Baylor Center For Pain Management

I’m currently sitting in the waiting area at Baylor while the gf is having her ACL repaired. I’m using free wi-​fi, have access to free snacks, coffee and water and have already had several updates on her condition during the 2.5 hour surgery thanks to the pager they provide you when you are in the building (they call your cell phone if you leave).
I’ve spent a lot of time in hospitals having my own parts fixed and waiting around for others to have procedures done — typically it’s a crapshoot on when you’ll get officially checked in, who will administer your anesthesia or when you’ll be able to find out anything about the patient.
Not today — the anesthesiologist called the gf last night to confirm her allergies. We were told to be ready to be checked in at 7:30 this morning (they had her dressed and her IV set by 7:35). Her surgery was supposed to last 2.5 hours and I just got word (at exactly 11:30) she’s been wheeled to recovery. They had her permits for a handicap placard ready for me to take to the DMV as soon as they took her in to surgery as well — to say this has been a monster success so far would be one hell of an understatement.
Of course I’ll hold off on five stars until I’ve been a patient up here, but for now I couldn’t be happier with the treatment she and I both have experienced.
Bravo, Baylor — as a Bear, I’m pretty pleased right now.
