Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Chrystal, I'm so glad to hear that good things are happening for you as far as medical care. You know that I completely understand how frustrating this can be and how much of a load is lifted once someone listens to you and does something to make it better for you. It will be interesting to see how long it takes them to get those brochures out. Axelrod Good News Well today I spoke with the head of patient relations at my hospital. I again explained how I was not receiving the best medical care they had to offer and that in fact I was promised better medical care than I would receive from a regular obgyn. I ran down my list from dirty nasty bathrooms to having to call 3 times to finally getting an answer as to if a medication was safe to take while pregnant. I addressed the always being told to go to the ER and then having to pay $75 for what could have been a regular office visit. I told her none of this was told to me in the beginning and that they should have a brochure on what you can expect from Women & Infants hospital as a high risk pregnancy patient and what to do when _________ happens. I said that being pregnant is stressful enough but when you don't know how you are going to be treated or what is going to happen it makes it even more scary and stressful. Her answer - she and her department are going to immediately work on 2 brochures on what to expect from the High Risk Pregnancy Department and a kind of flow chart of what to do in this or that situation. She said it would be done immediately and sent to all their current and new patients. I am happy that I made a difference. I also will have a new doctor. I am going to be seeing the head of the high risk pregnancy department. She promised that if I call and have a problem it will be taken care of on the phone or in his office and unless its an actual emergency I will not have to go to the ER. Yippppppeeee! So I am happy today. Thanks for letting me share. Chrystal Wife to Jace - together 6 Years! Happy Mommy to - 4 Years Old! New Baby Swenson Due July 28, 2004!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Good for you Chrystal! It is unfortunate that you even had to take it to this point. It shouldn't have to be that way when recieving medial care. But, you did the right thing! Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! Yes, I am yelling with happiness for you. Too bad there is no way for docs to have to " experience " this stuff for themselves. I doubt they would be quite so cavalier if they knew what patients went through.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 great news Barbara ! good news Just wanted to post some good news. I do believe the new AMT mini button that was " installed " last Thursday is the answer to my long-time tube problems. The pain caused by the old tube and the first Mic-Key button are gone. Every day my belly feels better and better. I am ecstatic! I can sit up without tube pain! The pressure sore that had formed under the Mic-Key button in just 3 weeks of use is quickly healing and the granulation tissue, new and old, has disappeared. I am so glad I kept searching for answers, even though it took nearly 3 years to get here. Both surgeons told me that all tube patients have pain and there's nothing you can do about it. I knew this was not true from reading the posts in my tubefeeding support group and that knowledge kept me searching. I learned about the AMT mini button from members of the tube group and also from here in Mitoldies and then persuaded my surgeons to let me try it. While it may not be the answer for everyone, it works for me. Cheers!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Oh yes, worlds better! Thank you, thank you! I can't believe how good the stoma looked this morning. Yes, I did buy a bottle of the TechniCare surgical scrub that you recommended. As long as my stoma was irritated and inflamed, the TechniCare just seemed to aggravate the pain for some reason. But once I get really healthy skin, I suspect it will be a plus. All your input much appreciated. Barbara > So happy for you! Isn't a Mini much better?
