One experience of undergoing surgery 6 months ago, My checking report presented that I had a tumour in my body. After rechecking in hospital , the doctor was impatient to tell me that I should have a surgery, and gave a guide paper. The paper wrote: The guide wrote that please find doctor A,B,C to have a surgery.But didn't mention how to find these doctors and why I have to find them. I want to ask more, but the doctor pushed me out. Afterward, I went through a operating room, and asked a nurse there. After watching the guide, she replied I should make a appointment before have a surgery. Because my tumour was in a specific organ, I can only have the surgery at specific day in one month. So I came back hospital one month later, made a appointment with another doctor, She checked me again and prescipted a lot of medicines. At the end, she told me that I should come back one month later, following the guide which I show her first. I fell in rage, I thought I was following the guide, why you didn't tell me at beginning if I was wrong. She replied impatiently:" It's not my fault, now I explained the guide to you. You have to make a appointment with Doctor A,B,C for arranging a surgery. Because they are high level than me, they have the right but I don't. " I tried to calm down myself and asked: How can I ensure that I would have the surgery at specific day,If there are not vacant operating room for me. And How many days I have to remain for surgery, which I have to ask for leave from work." The doctor retorted: " How can I know~ Please make another appointment with doctor A,B,C and ask." I was angry and disappointed of this hospital. So at the end, I came back hometown and underwent the surgery. Because my parents are doctors, everything went well , even a mom 's friend hold my hand during the whole surgery.

One experience of undergoing surgery

6 months ago, a medical check* revealed that I had a tumour in my body. After verifying this in the hospital, the doctor was impatient to tell me that I should have an operation, and gave me a guide paper. The guide said I should consult doctors A, B and C, but it did not mention how to find them or why I had to find them. I wanted to ask more, but the doctor dismissed me.

Afterwards, I went to an operating room, and asked a nurse there. After reading the guide, she replied I should make a appointment before having the operation.
Because my tumour was in a specific organ, I could only have the surgery at a specific day next month. So I came back to hospital one month later, made an appointment with another doctor who checked me again and prescribed a lot of medicines. At the end, she told me that I should come back one month later, following the guide which I had just shown her. I fell into a rage. "I thought I was following the guide, why you didn't tell me at beginning if I was wrong?" She replied impatiently: "It's not my fault, now I explained the guide to you. You have to make a appointment with Doctors A,B,C to arrange an operation because they are senior to me, they have the right but I don't. "
I tried to calm myself down and wondered how could I ensure that I would have the surgery on the specific day if there is no vacant operating room for me. And I asked how many days surgery would take in order to ask for leave from work.
The doctor retorted: "How do I know? Please make another appointment with doctors A,B,C and ask."
I was angry and disappointed at this hospital. So in the end, I returned to my home town and underwent the surgery there. Because my parents are doctors, everything went well; even mom 's friend held my hand during the whole surgery.

*'presented' is more a technical medical term and wouldn't normally be used in prose; she presented coughing and dizzy = she came in, dizzy and coughing.

Very well written!

I think, I need to let the medical staff know that the way they treated their patient were totally unacceptable in Western Countries. As a patient you have to lodge your complaint as the professional services they provided were uncivilized.
