week in the hospital....so sad

[Guest guest]

God, this sounds like a King novel.

I don’t know what to say! I sure hope you guys get the insurance Co. to get rid of that Dr. I am really sorry you had

such a nightmare of a time. Please get better soon .

Subject: My week in the

hospital....so sad

Ok -

I had the

epidural injection last week. Started feeling like a

spinal

headach was happening (which it was...is) and I was adviced

to go the

emergency room since my pain mgm. dr was out of town and

he does not

have " back-up " . THey said call my nuerologist and he

could

help. He met me in the ER, said no doubt I needed a blood

patch done

to reliev this unbelievable pain, si he admitted me into

ht

hospital. One whole day and night I didnt se him again. Like

clock work 3

hrs. big pain shot. then the nurse wqould be leave.

At one point

I asked if they could asked my Dr. about the nausea and

see if he

could give something since I had not eaten in four days

sincxe the

headach was so bad, the meds were going in IV and dumping

on an empty

stomach. HE NEVER called them. SO, many more hours
