An Update On My Situation
Posted: 09-14-04 23:46pm

As a few of you know, I went to the doctor the other week because I had been feeling really tired and weak all the time and I had been sick for 2 months straight. Well, after doing a bunch of tests at the doctor's office and feeling my guts and all my organs, the doctor sent me to the hospital because he felt that my liver was enlarged. He said that what was making me feel sick and weak all the time could be the fact that since my liver is enlarged, it isn't functioning property and isn't cleaning my blood like it's supposed to, so it's pumping the same dirty blood back to my heart over and over which is continually making me sicker and weaker. Well, you'd think they'd hurry up and do something about a situation like that, but it's been over a week since I was at the hospital for the tests that they did, and they still haven't called with the results and they said that as soon as they had them, they'd call. So while i'm laying around getting sicker, they're taking their dandy ol' time figuring out how to fix what's wrong. I'm also supposed to start back on zoloft whenever the results come back. So, i'm hoping that within the next couple days I hear something. The hospital here sucks. I'm serious....They let people die at that hospital. I hate it there. They're gonna get sued one day because of a situation like this. They'll be taking their dandy ol' time getting the results back to the doctor and the person will die before the results get back and then their family will sue the hospital for taking so d@mn long. I better get to bed now it's starting to get late. I just thought i'd let you know what's going on. Good night everyone.

Thank you. I am calling them tomorrow. Last time I tried to call they said they didn't know anything yet, which is stupid. They should be getting results the day after they run the tests on people. It's insane. You'd think they'd want to help people as fast as they could.

Hey! I'm sorry you are feeling so crappy and not getting the answers you need! My advice is to be persistent with them! Call until they get sick of hearing from you! This is no excuse for them, but I do know that the hospitals i've done rotations in...Things just go slow! Things fall between the cracks and take awhile, thats why our healthcare system is in such bad shape! Anyways...Call them 'til they are sick of hearing from you! You have a right to know whats going on with your body! Tell them you will report them...Whatever it takes! Hope you start feeling better soon! Take care!

.O.M.G! You have to go back, or to a diff hospital. You need to be with ethan, so you can't let the dr's do this to you. Demand that you get care! My prayers are with you!

Screw that hospital, even if they call with the results soon, I wouldn't want those kind of people touching or treating me with any of there caca. They don't seem to take health very seriously, and that wouldn't make me want to go back there. I would recommend going to a different doctor asap...And second opinions are always great! So, please go to a different doctor for yourself...And for everyone that loves you! *hugs* :d

I'd say call back and you should tell them off speak to a higher authority or something. They should not be doing that nor letting people die. I wonder why no one has done anything. That is so messed up. Make sure you mention the doctor that seen you or whatever.

If not it's best to go to a different hospital..... Please get yourself checked go somewhere else if you have too. A better hospital.

Sweety call back keep insisting. You have a little boy that you have to be around for. If things get too bad you may need a liver transplant, which in that case your name would have to be on a waiting list. I agree with jen go to a different hospita. Your health is very important.

Ok, get this...I called back and a nurse answered and I asked if they had the results back from my tests yet and she said yeah they were back, but the doctor that wanted to do the evaluation was on a vacation, white water rafting and she isn't allowed to discuss things like that with patients. So now I have to wait until the doctor gets back from his vacation. So stupid.

Oh, no! They did the same thing to my grandmother. She was told to go get a scan to see if her cancer had spread, and called back the next day and was told the doc went on vacation. How can they do that to someone!?!
