What the ever fucking fuck, ita?! That's just unacceptable. I was going to say unbelievable, but it's all too believable, but it's unacceptable all the same. And frankly it's not just the ER, the doctor is on the line too for failing to clearly communicate your need to the hospital. Can we get you to another ER?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Angie's List has a list of patient advocates in the area. Does anyone have a membership?

I can't organize for shit, but I totally can help bankroll a patient advocate for ita.

I'm beginning to think it's lawsuit and television station time.

I have an Angie's List membership but I can't access LA listings, for some reason.

And I'm juggling a fair amount of patient advocacy right now as it is, but like shrift I would happily throw something into the pot to help out here. Because this is just ridiculous and ita deserves much better.

The worst part to me is that it seems that getting the right care requires a lot from the patient, and I know from personal experience that it's hard to advocate for yourself when you're sick or in pain. In a perfect world, the proper care would come from the doctor, not the patient.

Good thing I got paid today.
