vw - I wish there were something we could do besides shake our fists impotently at the universe. Much calm and patience and wellness ~ma to you, all day long and in my sleep, too.
It seams that the triage nurse decided I was crazy or something and didn't let the doctor's in the back know that there was a patient in the waiting room having seizures. My friend Allison, who was with me, bless her heart, kept letting them know that I was getting worse, and they just didn't really care.
This is outrageous. I'm so sorry this happened to you on top of everything else. Have a peaceful day, resting at home.
Ok, thanks for the followup post about the other nurse. I'm sure people like her make up the majority of the healthcare profession. But the minority of asshats makes all of them look bad. I'm so glad you had the good experience last.
libkitty, thanks for the update and links to stories about the fire. What a disaster - it's wonderful that everyone lived through it. I hope the lady finds her kitty. Yeah, years of history burns up, an important community center gone along with irreplaceable artifacts, the one guy gets out without so much as a shirt, and I'm worried about a cat.
Fay, that haircut is worth whatever price you had to pay for it. I'm boggling even further that it was a repair job! You are just beautiful.
Brenda, giggling at the Sex Pistols - how old are they now? Monkeys! - how old am I?
Great picture, Daniel! That's a lotta snow.
Safe travels, Nora and Tom! Don't forget your camera!
Loving the spring memories.
ImememeN: It's my second day in a row of feeling right, the sun is shining, and I have a little time to cruise in b.org (until a user fire flames up). Life is pretty good right now.
will not fucking kill my husband.
took my fucking keys to work with him. only set. extra keys are $100.
he's on his way home now.
and it occurs to me. This is the 2nd time he's done this.
Can I wear my hospital pants to work? They're just SO comfy! Also, they say MGH on the ass, which just cracks me up.
Aimee, you can kill him. I give you permission.
Interesting , vw. I believe you when you say your care is bad and I believe you when you say it is good. IOWords, I feel that if you complain - it isn't just whineing. Sadly, you know how the ER works. You know it will be a long time before you see anyone. So I trust you when you feel ignored. or dismissed. So that's why I want to thawp them. and I even know that last night could have been a bad night for the nurse that wasn't so good. I want to give the other nurse a hug and flowers. She saw you .
DH did that once. the good part, whenever I can't find my keys - he now looks throught his stuff quickly, without saying "but I don't have them"
Oh my little bug, I am so sorry.
I am back at work and am going to try and work a half day. Wish me luck!
Empress, don't kill MM, he's too cute to die bloody.
My husband refuses to use any kind of key chain. He carries all of his keys -- work, home, car -- loose. It's one of those things that makes me crazy, even though it really has nothing to do with me.
{{{vw}}} I think you can wear whatever you like to work.
My left ear is plugged up from the cold. Sometimes I forget and hold the phone to that ear -- hilarity ensues.
(((vw)))
I was at the hospital this morning having blood work done (checking to see if the thyroid medication is starting to work). While I was there a girl freaked out and fainted. She was recovering just as I sat down, right across from her. I hope she didn't watch as I was siphoned.
So I got to work late and I'm leaving early to go to a doctor's appointment. I'm such a slacker.
Megan, did she freak out at a blood draw? Poor thing.
Aimee, can you add something like a big, pink fuzzy bunny to your keyring so MM will be able to id them?
Maybe a small tiara.
