hospitals are very frustrating....
I am sorry for her poor care. Does she have physical or mental problems? bizi

That’s awful, Mari... that is not, and should not have been how things were done. If your friend was admitted through the ER, which is most common, it’s not her personal doctor’s fault about the meds. ER docs can prescribe pain med, but the hospitalists usually don’t prescribe all a patient’s meds until they are admitted to a room, and they make the decisions about the orders. If they had her med list, they knew what meds she was on, and could have simply called her doctor to verify he prescribed them, and told them they were necessary. Someone from his office would have been on call, and if not, the doctor would have been able to call back on his own WAY before 19-20hrs had passed if he was ever contacted. And depending on her medical conditions, that may not have even been/should not have been necessary. They could have prescribed different/less potent meds in the meantime, and advanced them if her pain was not under control. They took WAY TOO LONG to straighten things out and make sure she was comfortable What a shitty hospital!!! I feel so badly that she was suffering for so long, and I hope that she is getting better care now wherever she is. Of course being at home is best Even though her brother is an A/H, I’m glad that you think that she will be taken care of well in a home with family (((HUGS))) I hope that the brother gets back to you soon so that you don’t have to worry about where she is, and how she is doing |

I'm glad you know where she is, Mari. You don't have to visit her every day. I'm sure she has a phone in her room. You could always give her a call to let her know you are thinking of her (if you are a phone person)

The hospital said they do not have her.
I suppose she is home. But calling her might not be useful because even in good health she disliked phones. When AND if I feel like it, I will drive over there and ring the doorbell. M |

I'm sure your friend is just happy to be home, if that's where she is.
After a hospital stay, a lot of people need time to settle in, and I'm sure your friend doesn't expect you to run right over there anyway |

Hi,
I'm O.K. moodwise. It helps to ignore everything. I've been going to bed around 9 or 10 A.M. I sleep 7 or 8 hours. Then I stay up all night. So I don't even go outside the house. Hubby does the grocery shopping and the cooking. M |
