They said that it was not uncommon for parents to LEAVE while their child was in surgery and then when the dr. needed to talk to them, they were no where to be found. On recent instance, a 3 year old was in surgery and the parents went back home--1 hr away. The child was in recovery and they could not find the parents !!!! My brain can not process that ....
