Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

ita ! so glad to hear you got help and all the ~ma in the world as you battle this.

There has to be some way to lodge a formal complaint against the doctor who kicked you out. It should go on her record and I bet there are several there already. As long as that attending works there your care and I'm sure the care of many other patients is threatened.

Write a letter to the head of the ER, the head of the hospital and all of your doctors - when you feel up to it! - detailing the who, what, when, how, and why or the incident. Get it on the record!

I'm glad you finally got decent treatment, ita.

So I'll poke my head again for a minute (I'm so behind on my grading, it's beyond embarrassing), now that PiToddler is asleep, in order to post something else I'm behind on (the pictures in the link are around six months old): [link]

ita, I'm so glad you got some relief. But I'm still baffled by the way a protocol that had been developed and approved is subject to unilateral change depending on whoever happens to be on duty on any given day. This is granting the attending physicians too much discretion, in my mind.

Anyway, bravo to Colin for helping out.

ION, I had a nice evening last night--my BIL's band had a party, so there was food and music and fun costumes. Until we got home around 1AM and I discovered that I'd left the garage door open and my mountain bike was gone. Bastards. I'd bought it some years ago to replace the old one which had also been stolen from my garage.

The shame of it is that it's a $1000 bike (yay for insurance), and yet I'm sure it's been sold for $25 already. Assholes.

I guess I should be grateful they didn't steal my toolbox again.

Is "Have a happy happy" the new "happy holidays?". And now I've heard "Merry happy happy". Really?

hearing this would cause a rage response in me.

I'm trying to rein in the impulse to add profanity into the middle of "Have a merry Christmas!" because that would be self-defeating.

Someone told me to have a merry Armageddon, which did amuse me.

Were they very stoned? Because I'll accept any mangled seasonal greeting from someone tripping balls.

Oooh, I have to start doing this!

I doubt they were stoned on the first one, the second one is suspect.
