Why would a patient be in the recovery room for two days when its normally two hours. Then keep it a secret from the family and say it was a chest infection which was the wrong diagnosis. You choose your hospital with caution. However, choosing this hospital will be taking a risk with your life as they don't even have the facilities to deal with a DVT-PE.
