As a patient? I've been lucky, only two. The first, one night, and heart scare, the second, when they put a stent in my heart.

Way too many,worst one? Cancer ward at Columbia Presb. In N.Y.C. the moaning and crying and carrying on at night was straight out of hell.
Second place would go to 6 weeks in traction at Northern West. Hosp.
All the rest were easy compared to those two.

Lots more than I care to remember. Car accident, burst appendix, cancer twice and complications from cancer. I'm a testament to modern medicine!


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

None since Mom and I were released after I was born there. I am lucky so far, but at 69+ I fear my day is coming for a hospital bed.

One night when I had my knee replacement. I was pretty sick after I had my knee scoped which was my 4th surgery, but it cleared up after about 4 hours. My TKR was next and I was really sick. I couldn't hardly open my eyes and the room went spinning hard. I was supposed to get up and walk on a walker and then I could go home. That didn't work. The next morning I was fine. Walked to the toilet, took a dump and got back into bed. The staff and PT geeks were surprised that I got up on my own.

Two nights ten tears ago after a roto-rooter on my prostate. I'm 77 now. That's it so far.

Just a few nights. Enough to know I don't like it. Before that I thought it might be like a little forced relaxation. Just laze around for a few days, watch TV, and do nothing, have people bring you food and drink. Ha.

Then one day I had some symptoms indicating a possible heart issue, and went to the local urgent care. Two ambulance rides and two hospitals later.... Three days later walked out with a new stent, and pretty exhausted. Constantly being woken up, if not by staff, then from all the sensor pads, bp cuff, and IV pulling at all parts of my body. Or the bed which moved 24/7 to prevent bed sores. Or the constant poking of the IV needle in the crook of the arm.

I was quite happy to get the hell out of there, and practically begged them to let me go home on the last night when they were considering keeping me one more night.

Saw enough that I'm thankful to have UCLA as my health care provider. The 1st night in the hospital at the local Cedars-Sinai is not an experience I ever wish to repeat. Colossal difference at UCLA. While not comfortable by any means, much better. Tremendous staff and facilities.

I am not looking forward to the days which are surely coming where the stays are longer and I'm not in as good of shape to handle how uncomfortable it is.

I don't think anyone "rests comfortably" in a hospital unless they're knocked out on drugs.

I think as a very young kid (toddler?) I had a respiring issue that kept me in for monitoring. I think I was in an oxygenated tent maybe?

I can’t remember and my parents are gone but I recall hearing about that.

Other than that I’m blessed to have only spent nights in hospitals voluntarily when loved ones needed me.

I’m 45 yo.

Nearly a month in Methodist Hospital in Houston in 1958, I was 8 years old and had exploratory craniotomy to look for a possible tumor. None was found.

None since.
