Re: Hospital Mom update-GERRY

wendy,

baptist hosp here sends out evaluations after surgeries, hosp stays, and ER

visits, and you can sign it or you can remove the bar code and be anonymous. i

fill mine out everytime, and this is where you can point out difficulties you

had, and praise marion as it will go into her permanent employee file. i always

leave a contact number and sign mine as i would like them to call and dsicuss

with me if they have any questions, hugs, sharon m

Everyone at the hospital was very nice except that anesthesia guy. And to add

insult to ingery he looked about 20 yrs old. He was so rude. Moms nurse,

n, was wonderful. She was working a 12 hour shift and was due to leave just

about the time Mom started having serious pain. She wound up staying on an

extra hour and a half until she got some meds and a Dr on the case.

The worst thing which was causing alot of other problems was that Mom was not

properly categorized as a medical stay or a surgical or whatever. They have a

name for it which I can't remember. I caused alot of confusion and plan

changing and there were so many Dr's giving different orders and opinions etc.

or

NOT giving any. I think the on call Dr last night got everything straightened

out.

I had a few moments of lost confidence which was a bit scary but I think

things will be better today. And I think n will be back on the case too. We

love n.

I worry about the effects of the meds on Mom but she seems to be holding up.

She should be much much better in her physical being. They removed 8 gall

stone from the bile duct!

The Dr said he never saw so many lodged in there.

Thank you for the tip on talking to the Chief of Anesth. for a care plan. I

have to chuckle about the term care plan cuz so far it doesn't seem like the

right hand knows what the left hand is doing.

Thanks for your support

& Ginny
