Re: Home from the hospital left early without permission()

Hi!

I can sympathize. I was stuck in that tube myself for what seemed like

hours while in some pretty intensive pain. I'd been in a car wreck, my

back was killing me, and I was lying there with visions of body casts

and wheelchairs, trying not to cry. They kept acting like nothing was

wrong. At one point a supervisor came down, had them take me out, did

something to the system while I was given some demerol (thank you,

Sweet Goddess, for Demerol!), then had me put back in. The test was

over very quickly. Maybe it was the drugs that made it go quickly.

The odd part came a week later in the mail. I found a letter of

apology, assurance that retrainng was taking place, and a $50 gift

certificate for a really nice restaurant.

I'm sorry they were such jerks to you and your son. I was an adult, I

can't imagine what it would have been like for a kid.

Brightest blessings to all,

AmyC

Been there, done that, myself. An mri tube is no place for a kid.
