I was promised ice cream and toys, and there were none. It wasn't a deliberate lie, just that when my younger brother had his tonsils out, he was in a children's ward that had ice cream and toys. But he was in a big hospital because his surgery was more complicated. When I had mine out, I was in a small local hospital with no accommodation for children at all (and surly nurses). I was given green jello and scolded for not eating it, although I hated jello.
Given that I spent the first day after surgery feeling incredibly ill because of the anaesthetic, it was probably just as well that I didn't get ice cream. But it didn't seem that way at the time.
