Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I just wanted to say even the experts who find and treat turn on you. I developed a DVT while carring my last child, was put in the hospital TX with IV heprin then told if I would learn to do my on injections I could go home on complete bedrest giving myself shots every 2 hrs, really was upsetting, a pregnant woman bedrest for the last 2mo, and shots around the clock!, anyway he the vascular attending Doc released me to go home with these instructions continue with heprin inject up until first labor pains, take one at onset and that would be it, then had given me coumadin orders after delivery. Well son was born stood up from w/c to get put in bed in hosp stay room and gush gush nurse was turned away from me I said oh oh, I am bleeding kinda, now this was my 3rd, and she sweetly says oh honey that happens after birth, I had to say not a puddle on the floor and still splashing before she would turn around and look. I was quickly put in bed DR called for hep block. Then once home from that, continuing Dr order oh the coumadin set up ahead by vascular guy, breast feeding and 2 days later laying in bed gush gush gush,went in changed out laying there gush gush gush! obstrician called, get to hosp. admitted he was wild first I should not of been on coumadin breast feeding 2nd vascular had me on to high of dose for this. I was admitted a few days later the vascular one comes in to see me and asked me when I was going to quit this?!!, I was shocked, and emotional as I had 3 at home and 2 were babies 11mo apart one newborn, and I just wanted to be home with my newborn, What had I done. How could I make this up, he felt I was exaggerating what happened, and he got talked to by the other doc so i get questioned on how real was this hemmorage. SICK uncaring individual.

I don't have much to say to comfort you. The evening after my heart cath, I was resting at home and my spouse lit into me. He was saying things like I'm a hypochondriac. He thinks I love attention and that's why I had the heart cath. Yeah, right. I'm glad for the good news, but does he really think I just got a heart cath because I wanted one?! Like I didn't have to have symptoms or something in order for health insurance to even approve it?! I mean, can a person fake high blood pressure? If so, where do those numbers come from? Maybe I could fake lower blood pressure?! Or can a person fake high cholesterol? How about this one - Do ya think I can fake the ground glass haziness on the ct scan of my lungs? Or do ya think it's possible to fake a hiatal hernia, during a barium swallow test in the hospital? Is it possible I just dreamed up the pocketing in my intestines because I think having diverticulosis is glamorous? Or maybe I think wearing my bipap mask is sexy in bed?! I guess he thinks I dreamed up the hip pain from bilateral congenital hip dysplaysia so I could have 3 hip surgeries thus far, like I think it's neat to learn to walk again three times in only five years?! Yepperz, I know all about families being no support at all. I'm a strong woman, and capable of just handling the emotional part of this without any support on the home front. In fact, I kicked my own spouse out of the hospital because he was being such an arse! I just don't want him accompanying me to anything medical if I can help it. When he was riding me so hard that night, I asked him to go along with me to the doc to hear what she has to say about the tests...that got me a whole nuther tirade, so I just walked out of the room and took to my bed. girlsaylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
