Old Man’s Corner

As y'all know, I had major surgery at the end of January. When we got to the hospital and they took me back to get ready, the nurse mistakenly misgendered me and my wife corrected her. The nurse sincerely apologized and made sure the rest of my surgery team knew my pronouns and my preferred name. Now this info is and has been in my chart for years but sometimes it doesn't come up for some reason with new doctor’s offices. My experience at the hospital turned out to be great. I had a great team and the nurses on my floor were amazing. I was affirmed in every way my entire time there.
