And you're right about how we're so low down on the standards of care.

Seattle has 4 of the best. That said I know there are some stinkos out there as my folks were in them constantly towards the end. And how true Cloe's comment that some dr has to graduate at the bottom and get a job somewhere. Sorry it was there though! If you look at the ranking the USA unfortunately comes way down the list for medical care. Not sure who's fault that is though. Not all the nurses and drs. Sad huh?<br />SuebSuebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581885901786050426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-64868716747962363632011-04-06T05:44:58.365-05:002011-04-06T05:44:58.365-05:00Thank you, Anonymous!

How well I can identify with the problem of not wanting your employers to know about your "issues". I hid my problems for most of my career. But just remember, I'm out here and I totally understand. <br /><br />Just hang in there and do something I always try to do: find the funny stuff to laugh at. Doing that has saved me sometimes when I was hanging by a thread!Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-76785113565628463302011-04-05T19:24:10.785-05:002011-04-05T19:24:10.785-05:00Bo, I am so glad you are home.

You are one of the people who inspire me to keep at it when things look very bleak to me.<br /><br />Let Blaine take care of you!<br /><br />I've posted before with my name, but this is anonymous, as my employers and others don't know about my issues. It would cause me a lot of problems if they did.

I get that you wanted to go home as soon as possible and I know there are bad hospitals and practitioners out there, but that doesn't mean the whole thing is wrong. The "Magnet Hospital" designation is a good place to start when looking for a quality hospital.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-66064252977627278832011-04-04T18:16:43.900-05:002011-04-04T18:16:43.900-05:00Anonymous: Have you been in an American hospital ...Anonymous: Have you been in an American hospital lately?

That's when I decide that either there is nothing wrong or it is something that is just unique to me and doesn't need to be fixed.<br /><br />I had a picc line the last time I was in hospital...and it was in the most inconvenient, uncomfortable place they could find. I don't know why they do that.<br /><br />Hope you are feeling better and all goes well. A hospital is no place for sick people!Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241412754553157778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-52524465518476355142011-04-04T13:07:03.787-05:002011-04-04T13:07:03.787-05:00Yuck, I have Meniere's Disease and can share y...Yuck, I have Meniere's Disease and can share your pain. It only hits every now and then but the spinning, reeling is horrible not to mention the nausea the spinning causes. It has also taken about 90% of the hearing in my left ear. Benedryl or if desperate Dramamine helps.

LOL (BTW, would love to see a pic of it!)<br /><br />Now Bo, you should know, that in this economy all hosps are trying to market themselves to get the most patients. And how do they go about that? Well, lets see....unknown local hospital....hmmm, all the patients compare us to hotels so maybe we should just renovate so that we can LOOK more hotel like....what? the silly staff thinks that patients would really prefer competent care and working equipment? How silly...dont they know that in this day and age all patients care about is HOW the place LOOKS????!!!!!<br />Am glad you are better - get back to the people who know how to care for you!daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04460011312097894940noreply@blogger.com
