I am lucky to have the Cleveland Clinic here which is one of the best hospital systems in the world, and the main campus is incredible. I honestly feel like I could live there. I'm not a big fan of peeing in a bottle and waiting for someone to respond in case of something pressing. But I think I've spent enough time in hospitals to not really mind anymore.

I hate hospitals. I don't mind if it is important though!

It all depends on your approach. Think big and it can only get smaller.
When I had the brain surgery, I was thinking a week in the hospital and I was out in four days (would have been out in three but my wife and brother said they didn't wanna see me leave that quick). For the heart surgery, I was thinking 10 days and I was out in five. Triple A and hip surgery sound like three-day stays but I went home the next day.

It depends, when I was up at the NIH to be tried on a new med., was up for 3 months. I made new friends and the Dr.s, nurses and all were great. When in at others for testing or being checked on it depended on workers. Sometimes it wasn't always comfortable and other times no problem.
