I'm a little upset and not sure what to do about it! I'm 4 days post op and when I left the hospital (same day) I had 100.3 fever. I haven't had a fever since but I have not had a single call from the drs office checking on my fever or anything else. Should I be upset and should I say something? I just don't think that's the best aftercare treatment...

Take responsibility for your own health. If you have a fever call your doc . They see a lot of patients and cant check up every single time. Mine did check up and I missed the call. I have been nauseated in the morning pretty bad. Nothing seems to help. Other than that I guess its been alright.

If you are that upset about it you could call the office manager and explain your concerns and suggest that you would have appreciated a follow up call.

Lots of variables to this thought though... Do u want the hospital to call or the physicians office? Did they give you instructions on when to call for complications? There are lots of ways healthcare delivery can be improved sometimes it just takes someone pointing out where and what those improvements could be.

I never heard a thing from the office or doc at all after surgery. It was kind of disappointing that no one checked on me!

It wouldnt have mattered who called me- but the personal touch wouldve been nice. He made a pretty penny..5 mins for him or his staff wouldnt have been too much. I understand your frustration.

Well I am taking responsibility for my own health and best believe that if I have a question or concern it will be heard by someone lol! However, I was specifically told to expect a phone call and never got it and there are other variables that have happened to make me disappointed in my aftercare. I'm just a stickler for good customer service/ patient care considering i work in health care. However, I'll just chalk it up to miscommunication, and let it go and continue to be excited about my future

I would deff call and ask them about the fever and tell them you would have liked a follow up call or something, My hospital recovery called a couple times the next day to make sure I was okay.
