What is the correct handling of a patient after liposuction?

On Tuesday, I received liposuctions on areas from my armpits and on down to me knees (essentially my back, buttocks, abdomen, sides, inner and outer thighs, anterior thighs, and knees. After completing surgery, I was taken to an aftercare clinic to recuperate where the nurse would pull me upwards out of the bed by my right arm and order me in a stern voice to 'push the rest of your body up using your other arm'. This was very difficult and painful, yet she would not help me despite my protestations. Walking upright was very difficult and placing myself on the toilet was very difficult (she offered me no assistant in that endeavor either). My plan had been to stay at the aftercare facility for two days, but I fled the following morning with the assistance of emergency transportation. My questions regards whether a patient who has just undergone a major surgery should be handled more delicately than I. I felt that the nurse's handling of me post surgery increased my pain level.
