Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Does anyone know the medical system well enough so I can impress on my docs I want my own hospital room? One of the upsides to having had C Diff on and off is getting my own Hospital room. If anyone has info for me please feel free to email me off-list at jodah235@... Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Sharing hospital rooms is such a crapshoot! I once had a horrible roommate who groaned loudly for the whole 5 days I was there. I soon discovered she was faking (she even forced herself to throw up, and very loudly too!) to get a. good drugs (somehow she managed to get them to give her oxycontin), b. attention (she conned a student nurse into giving her a massage), and c. get a vacation from her 6 kids at home. What a nightmare she was! Then there was the old lady who scared the crap out of me (well, not literally), when she started saying things in her " weak old lady voice " in the middle of the night. But one time I had a fantastic roommate! We were the " fun " room that nurses would come hang out in. It really helped pass the time to have a compatible roommate to talk to. But back to your question , do you know for certain that your hospital only has private rooms for " special " reasons? More and more hospitals are moving to all private rooms these days.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 If a private room isn’t covered by your type of health insurance you can request one in most places, but will have to pay extra it. n From: BTVC-SCD [mailto:BTVC-SCD ] On Behalf Of jodah235 Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2009 7:05 PM To: BTVC-SCD Subject: OT hospital room Does anyone know the medical system well enough so I can impress on my docs I want my own hospital room?
