Re: I'm Really Really Upset!!! -To Irene

[Guest guest]

Hi Irene,

Thank you for writing yesterday.... I am feeling better today. Yours

and everyone's feedback and support was very helpful.

I know now I should have called sooner, but I also know why I didn't

call for two days. I didn't know if my problems were due to my error

and wanted to try to correct how I was taking the meds first. I at

that point didn't know I should be taking so much more of the motrin,

so I wouldn't have known to call or that something was wrong with the

instructions I received originally. Anyway, now I know about calling

the doctor right away!!! I have since writing that original post

spoken with my doctor again. I meet with him tomorrow and plan to

talk with him about everything that happened just so I know the whole

story and he knows the whole story. Initially, it appears that the

error is with the residents. They were responsible for discharging

me. I will know definitely tomorrow, but the Doctor was sincerely

surprised that I wasn't told about the motrin. He was also surprised

that I wasn't given his personal number. But you know what?! The

working with the residents has been like dealing with the 3 stooges.

I have spoken to all of them when calling after hours (before getting

the doctor's number) and they all say something different about all

the meds. Isn't that winning!?!?! I have had problems with them all

along. Anyway, at this point, I feel it's important that that my

doctor be aware of my experience with those residents.

I am much more rested today and am feeling better emotionally... How

are things going missing your daughter?? That must be rough! I will

keep in mind planning a little shopping excursion. :)Good idea! I

tried a walk, but it was so cold where I live that the freezing air

about did in my raw nasal passages! My birthday is next week though

and that should make for good present opening.... And that's

definitely positive! Anyway, thank you again... take care, Katja

Katja,

I'm glad you're feeling better. Definitely discuss the situation with

your surgeon - that's the only way for the residents to learn to pay

more attention to what their patients are telling them! Hopefully,

they'll get better at it before they graduate . My daughter is back

home with me, going through her " terrible 2s " , but I'm glad she's

back. I also have a lot of work to do - I'm working from home

part-time now, and have to finish a project early next week ( " Do you

think you can get it done by early Tuesday " ?) . I love my

supervisor, but we always have so much work to do, it's ridiculous!

Take care.

Irene.
