SHANNON-So many of us are so elated to hear that this infection problem is

finally over. So many of us prayed that the right doctors would make the right

decisions in your care and I feel that those prayers were answered. The

phenergan thing is very funny and ironic-when I was just in the hospital they

gave me Phenergan 12.5 mg Iv for the migraine and when I said I was nauseated

again the ER Nazi RN told me I had exceed the maximum dose and couldn't have

anymore Phenergan for 6 hrs...what a bonehead! I told her that I was going home

if she refused to call someone else (I had my FP, Neurologist, plus the ER

docs),explained I usually take 50mg Phenergan every 4 hrs and politely insisted

that she DO SOMETHING NOW-I felt badly for the ER staff but the nightshift kept

me up all night complaining about having 35 patients in a 24 bed ER and

unfortunately they were more concerned about how undoable it was and in 12 hrs

never checked on my neurological status/took a BP or asked how I was doing. I

got the nurse for 1 1/2 minutes the time it took to give me two IV doses of

Phenergan.

Isn't it amazing how stupid suposeedly educated people can be? YOu

know if they had a class on common sense and compassion in nursing or

med school we would have a lot less " health care professionals " . 12,5

of Phenergan for someone with a migraine not to mention CP? that is a

joke. why didn't they just give you a shot of saline? it would have

worked just as well. It scares me to think what would have happend to

the " normal " patient had they been put in my situation this past 2

months. they would have probable died. I was ALWAYS calling and

making a real pain out of myself with the ID doc but if I hadn't

taken a proactive approach and stayed involved instead of palying the

waiting game... I have NEVER considered a law suit before- even when

the doctor almost killed me following an EP study with ablation and

caused me to have the SVC syndrome. I could have owned his practice

and he knew it but because I felt like I knew that there were risks

involved and I really felt like it was just a " freak " thing that

happened. Thank you for all the prayers there is no doubt that they

were answered. I don't know how I would cope with all of this without

my Faith. I can't imagine. I believe that I was meant to share my

Faith with others-how I am thankful for my health. It might not be

the best and I have ups and downs but I have life and that to me is a

precious gift to be thankful for-- that and my family esp. my

husband. He is just incredibly supportive, I thank God everyday for

having him in my life and for Him sending him to me. I am often asked

how do you handle all of this and I tell them I don't, I don't have

to I turn it over to God for His help. He carries me. I glad to here

you are feeling better as well. That was a scare for you I know. I

will keep you in my prayers.
