Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Good heavens, Judi! That should have been reported to you and your husband when it happened! No wonder you are so sore. Your poor woman....Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Judi, you poor thing. Is this the same hospital where you fell as you were getting into the pool? If so, you should definitely stay away. If anyone has worse luck than I do, I think it's you, LOL. In spite of that black cloud, you always have the best attitude! I don't know how you do it, but I admire you for it. Maybe you could sue them. Or at least threaten. That should get their attention.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Dear Judi, That is the most terrible thing that happened, such disturbing news. How neglectful they are, and I would seek some type of legal advise. They don't even tell you what happened, until your family calls later to find out why your in so much pain, I would be furious too. Please take care of yourself, I'm glad that your home with your family. Please don't go back there again, my gosh. My prayers are with you, Tawny > Hi group, > > Well, leave it to me to have something screwy happen. You have to > know that I don't do things by half measures.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Oh, Judi, you poor thing! Your family has a right to be angry. I mean, accidents can happen, but to withhold that information from you was really unexcusable. What were they thinking? That what you didn't know wouldn't hurt you?!! Good for your husband for being persistent. I would expect now that any care that you require because of this would be paid for by the hospital -- even if it's at another hospital!!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Judi, Good grief, I'll be really furious too! That similar thing happened to a friend of mine once but by paramedics. I sure hope there will be accountability given by the hospital and staff. (And it had better be good. ) I'm not one to go " Court " happy, but I think this would be a case. Here's a joke that I hope you haven't heard before: ( I don't drink, but I thought it was a cute joke anyway) A duck walks into a bar, hops up on a barstool and says, " Got any grape juice? " The bartender says, " No, I ain't got no grape juice, now get out! " Next day, the duck walks into the bar, hops up on a barstool and says, " Got any grape juice? " The bartender says, " I told ya before, I ain't got no grape juice and if you ask me again I'm gonna nail yur little webbed feet to the floor! " Next day, the duck walks into the bar, hops up on a barstool and says, " Got any nails? " " No ... " " Got any grape juice? " Hope that brought out the sunshine instead ! : - ) I hope you'll be feeling much better very soon. Jefersea [ ] Judi, surgery, etc. Hi group, Well, leave it to me to have something screwy happen.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I have to wonder if the reason nothing was said was first embarrassment over the fumble and second concern about being sued-seems people will sue over every little thing.--- Noreen Saukko <nsaukko@...> wrote: > Judi, > They did all that damage and didn't tell you? > Good grief.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Judy, I am so glad you found out why you were in so much pain and had bruises. It is wrong that you had to find out this way. You attitude about all of this is marvelous. I hope your experience will make a difference and in the future the hospital doesn¹t try to hide their mistakes. After all you¹ve been though, I hope the surgery was a success! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
