Guest guest Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hey Folks! Saying hello to my bestest family outside my wonderful wife and children of course! But you guys are the best! This lil chapter begins a week from this past Monday when i took my first injection of Enbrel....now i am one to always always research.....Enbrel carries a " Severe to Fatal Interaction " warning with two of my other major medicines......BUT...the usual....your physician thinks the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.....he did and i hoped it would be that way....wellllllllllll......by Saturday i was sick.....Sunday pretty much out of it......by Monday...out of it! God bless my dear wife, Patty B......she RUSHED me to our doctor in a neighboring city.....he sent us back to a town just North of us to my favorite Horsenpital.....seriously, these guys are the best....they have saved my life a number of times over the last few years! So, i was admitted on Moday with this really funky systemic infection mostly centered in my lungs as is usual for me.....i had yellow puss-like material draining from both eyes! So here it is Friday....following massive amounts of antibiotics....IV and Oral....by God's Grace, I am much better though weak as you can imagine.....but, one thing that impressed me.....My doctors, from the ER doc to my hospitalist were familiar with AOSD and the dangers of Enbrel.....of course AOSD is in my records from having been here an average of two weeks a year since 2008....then i was here for nearly the entire summer! Now to a little " Family " matter...growllllllllll.....there was a volunteer here with a very big mouth.....on Monday, before I could even think of calling my parents or sister who were all out of town...this lady takes it upon herself to call them...not the first time this has happened......she also goes to church with them.....well i did not not want them to know i was in until we had something to tell them....i also didn't want my oldest daughter knowing i was here....well she was told too....for those of you who are familiar with HIPAA....well you know she violated that Federal Law....not the first time....i was furious as was Patty....so I reported her to the HIPAA Compliance Officer here who confronted this lady who admitted the violations and was promptly asked to leave immediately.....wellllllll, now the damndest thing is my sister phones me this morning and proceeds to chew me out for reporting this person....and my so called parents i am told are so angry at me for reporting her that they are not even calling me or seeing me while i am here....hell they are all about image anyway....so....you see why you guys are my family! I am done with my biological family! I love and appreciate you guys! I hope you are all as well as can be.....oh I am due to be discharged to home tomorrow! No more Enbrel for me......i think i just chill for awhile! God bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Glad to hear you are recovering. That is terrible that you are getting blamed for turning the big mouth in for her violations. She should have known better. If you had wanted your family to know, you or your wife would have called them. She may have been well meaning, but it wasn't her place to make that kind of decision. Hopefully everything will calm down for you soon. Take Care, Tracie in D.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
