My husband was in the hospital and nursing home for six months. I've seen lots and lots of doctors and nurses around him. Know what I learned? The medical profession can be, and often is, even more ignorant then the rest of us.
Are you the nurse who folded him in half to fit in the lift?
Are you the nurse who thought the best way to feed him ice was with her fingers, two little chips at a time once an hour?
Are you the nurse yelling at him to turn over when he couldn't even twitch anything but his right index finger?
Are you the doctor who took six weeks to decide to give him a complete scopy and then concluded he wasn't internally bleeding because nothing in his digestive system was bleeding when the scope went by, but give him two more pints of blood because he needed it?
Are you the doctor who watched him go down fast, but still thought he should go home after the weekend and if he bled that much again, I could lift up the 240 pound man to put him in the car and take him back to the hospital for more blood?
Are you the doctor who couldn't figure out, even after 50 units of blood, that maybe the Warfarin AND Heparin wasn't a good idea to continue?
Trust me when I say, just because you're in the medical field doesn't make you qualified. Been there, still have the scars, and now know how to stop believing such utter nonsense.
I also don't get my info from some site that boast of being anonymous.
