@skybolt I appreciate your response. The nature of most surgeons is to operate. Managing can sometimes not be part of their DNA. As a patient in today's healthcare world, one must us AI and question. If you do not, do not expect proactive care unless you are fortunate to have internal medicine involved .

@sperio sadly, it wasn't any different 20 years ago. I had a hospitalist tell me I could go home two days after a major abdominal surgery. I had just had a pik line put in 14 hours after my IV failed and I didn't have pain control yet. And I was on TPN and had a urinary catheter. No way was I going home the next day. I wasn't even eating.
My surgeon was not impressed with the hospitalist.
