Learn MoreVery good experience. Glad to have Dr. Kvapil on my team.
Well everybody was very nice however, it took four different nurses and seven attempts ( 7) to find a vein to insert the needle for the tube for the anesthesia. I was told that they didn’t have any Lidocaine to deaden the pain in my hands. It was rather painful while they were sticking me all seven times and then when they finally got it installed it slipped out and they had to do it again. But the worst part was when they started to give me the anesthesia, the pain was so severe that I cried like a baby. Me, a grown man. I can’t believe that they didn’t have the Lidocaine there or some other drugs to dull the pain. I am very disappointed in the situation that I was subjected to. David Rayle
