Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 -- You Go Girl!!! They were obviously very incompetent or just could have cared less! If I were you I would write a letter to the administration and to the local paper (an editorial). Tell everyone you can about this hospital and their incompetency!! Getting an attorney immediately was a very smart move!! By the way, I hope all is okay with your son. How old is he and how long has he been diabetic? Best Wishes, Sharon in California [alldiabeticinternational] Home from the hospital left early without permission Well last night was not the best night of williams and my life I left a hospital telling them just what I thought of them and It wasnt to nice. had to go in for a veeg its done while viedoing him and an MRI at the same time. It was at the hospital I dont like and will never go to even if we are dieing again. It was the onnly place we could get the bed for the veeg. I told them when they sedated william that they had to watch him for seizure because his bloddsugar had been running low. They looked at me like I was stupid and said WE look after all our patients we are trained. He had a snack before he went in his blood sugar was still 85 I told them and had all my proof with me that if william is below 90 he is going down. They said he wuld be fine for 2 hours. Well 1 hour into the MRI his hand started to change positions and his breathing got differentI told them to let me in he is hypoing and going to start a seizure. They ignored me and said he is just doing it because he didnt want an MRI because it isnt showing up on the MRI or the EEG. I was ripped I hit the emergancy button grabbed my coat the meter was in it and williams juice snack. He was still out of it I grabbed him by his legs pulled him out of the MRI straddled william pulled the mask off his face as his body was twitching (seizing) I took his bloodsugar it was 29 He was out so he couldnt eat or drink I seen sugar packets licked my finger and put the sugar on it I know gross and he he started to shake less. I yelled for them to bring me something and they did NOTHING a woman waiting brought me in some frosting in a tube and it stopped his bloodsuagr came up and I made them take the eeg off of his head I told them what I thought and I wasnt plesant and was quide rude and crude. They said he was just one of those kids who wants to have seizures because he dosnt have anything showing up on his eeg or mri and that they still had an hour to do. I told them what they could do with thier hour. They caled security on me I carried an groggy child out of that hospital and had his blood sugar up to 110 when I left. They kept saying low blood sugar dosnt cause seizures. My husband wasnt there he said they were stuid techs. They suggested I take him to the er I suggested they BITE ME. Iam so mad I told his new nero that they wernt compitent there and she said its just a veeg and mri you will be there he will be fine. I have a phone call into her about this and his ped just checked him and said he is fine for me to check him every 2 hours today for bloodsugar. He is going to make the endo run a new test he wants a 5 hour test at the office or the other hospital. he said that he thinks all the seizures are hypo related. Just got a message from teh hospital admin. He said there would be no charge for this visit. and that he will check into the matter.His nero isnt in untill this afternoon today but I know she will message me right off. She is going to be mad at that hospital. I dont give much hope for the hospital admin doing anything. I have an appt with an attorney on wed. I took the womans name down who asisted me in case the attorney wants to talk with her. She was mad she said you could tell the way it was stopping that he was in hypo status. She carries frosting in case she has a hypo. Sorry this is such a book I just had to rant to someone about what they did to a child. He has been dropping low a lot in the past few days so I have been worried about him a lot. pancreatitis info http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ThePancreatitisPlace/ diabetic recipes http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/diabetic_recipes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 laura, that is really really bad. i'm so mad for you! i'm glad you've spoken to an attorney. things like this should not be swept under the carpet. i'd really be tempted to call a local media station too, if i didn't see a clear response from the hospital that they were doing something to remedy their behaviour for the future. you're in my thoughts and prayers! let us know how it goes. rach > Well last night was not the best night of williams and my life I > left a hospital telling them just what I thought of them and It > wasnt to nice.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 is only 71/2 he has had a problem with seizures that came out of no where 2 years ago. When in reality I didnt know what I was looking at. It took a year of the first nero telling me I was crazy kids dont get diabetis. I had to go out on my own to prove it. They would say he is just epileptic so he has high blood sugars. Well what I didnt know he was going to low and rebounding up when he seized. It took his teachers father to help me get things going the right way. All the first nero wanted to do was to put him on meds and keep adding meds they almost made this sweet loving child a zombie. I have a hard time trusting drs. after watching william almost die twice watching them do cpr I demand Iam present for every test. He has a new nero now that listens she isnt happy with the hospital and was appaled with his treatment she called me to make sure he was ok. She wants me to change endos she is like the ped they think he may need a different route because just diet isnt handleing it all. We are lowering the seizure meds again. This always scares me. But I would love for him to be off them completely. She listens to william and when he says he isnt ready to go lower she has me stop and waits untill he is ready. He is ok now he says he will never go back in for another mri again and I assured him he will never go back to that hospital. I dont mind driving the extra hour to get to a better hospital. He wouldnt have gone to that hospital but it was the only place with a free eeg and mri at the same time. Iam so greatful that the stranger heard me yelling and came running with something to help me. It shows me there is still some decensey in this world. Its the same thing I would have done for someone else. Thanks for careing I dont feel so alone with all of you out there. Sharon Ramshur SRamshur@...> wrote: -- You Go Girl!!!

It was at the hospital I dont like and will never go to even if we are dieing again. It was the onnly place we could get the bed for the veeg. , what an awful experience for both of you. I am so sorry. Thank goodness there was someone there that could help you. By all means, speak to an attorney about the sheer incompetence of the so called " medical professionals " involved. I hope is feeling better today. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi, , I am glad that you were with him, sometimes doctors and nurses can be so stupid, we live with our bodies, and family 24/7, we know what the H is going on... they don't... the frosting is a good idea for having something on hand, will have to get me a tube of it...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Oh my gosh, this is frightening. Sadly, tho, it isn't surprising. My sister had to get tough with the nurses and doctors on numerous occasions on behalf of her husband (who had MS). The " professionals " simply will not believe we laymen know anything. If anything, we are the professionals and they should be consulting us. I'm glad you got your son out of there. You were quite a heroine rushing in like that and taking charge.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Dear , I am so glad that you handled the problems. It is a shame that things even happen at all. A child should never be treated like this not to even mention anyone or anything else. What is the name of this hospital and where is it located. We might be able to protest the treatment that was given. I would do this for you and I know others would also from this group. Thoughts.
