It's sickening what you went through, ita, but I'm so grateful you got the care you needed.

This.

ita, I'm so glad you got the treatment you needed, but so upset and baffled by everything that has gone on. Yay for Colin. I hope the next two weeks are gentle on you.

ita, thanks for checking in. News is good, but your pixels are the most valuable. Colin has all our thanks as well as your own. I'm so terribly glad you got treatment, and I wish there was a procedure by which the attending who tossed you and said you couldn't come back could be put in a tiny little room and put through an amount of pain and other symptoms equivalent to yours for...an indefinite time. Bedside manner be damned, this person needs an empathy injection and a 'tude-ectomy.

I'm glad you've been treated. I'm glad Colin could help. You have all my virtual spoons for the next two weeks.

ita, I'm glad to hear that you got the treatment you needed, and that folks at the ER seemed eager to make up for the crap you had to endure on Thursday. I'm so glad Colin was there for you.

the woman on Thursday who intimated she had ALL the power also turned out not to,

From the way people yesterday were appalled at her treatment of you, I hope her behavior comes back to bite her in the ass in a BIG way.

Seriously. I can't get over the capriciousness. But am also so glad you went back to people who will actually treat you.

Is there a way we can make SURE it does, like bringing up a snit-induced refusal to treat a patient with verified, longstanding history of intense pain with the AMA or whatever group oversees doctors' behavior at the hospital?

Tumblr is so weird (and also full of children?): I put up this story about a middle school principal yesterday, and sure I guess it's a good time to see a nice story about a school, but it's got 30K notes, we have several hundred new followers, etc. I can never predict what's going to take off, and should probably stop trying.

Skipping and poking my head for a minute to apologize to Typo Boy, whose birthday, accorsing to the Buffista Calendar, was two days ago, but I've missed posting about it.

Happy third-day-of-your-new-age, Typo Boy! With lots of wishes for a wonderful year!

I am so glad you are able to be upright, ita! Still very angry about Thursday/Friday. Note to that attending: you can only be rattled on if you did something wrong.

Happy belated, Gar!

Hi, Nilly! How you holding up?

Note to that attending: you can only be rattled on if you did something wrong.

Also, there is a real difference between tattling and reporting (at best) unprofessional behavior.
