Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 I emailed Dr.Gagner and told him what's happening to . He explained he's been sick for a few days and Dr. Quinn is off on vacation. Also he explained how backed up radiology was. But he assured me she was in no danger. I further explained about the infection situation. I don't know if he made any contact after that but she did finally get her IV antibiotic going. I called someone for whom I thought might advocate for her but she never called back. Unbelivable. It's not so easy to just leave a hospital. She has an infection and there are financial matters to be considered. We spoke a few times today but I couldn't get her tonite. She was going down for that CAT scan this evening. Hopefully she doesn't have another hernia and she can get out of there. Trouble is, Pomp told her even if she has no other hernia she has to stay to resolve the infection. Sounds wise to me, even though she is going nuts in there. And YES YES YES, she emphasises to GET A PRIVATE NURSE if you can afford it at Mt. Sinai. NIGHT AND DAY she says. This kind of horror story and an earlier one by Sondra are enough to scarey you away from Mt. Sinai for good. What good is a world Class surgeon if the hospita staff tortures you? Keep in your thougts. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
