Discharged from the hospital without answers; the death of Jane Q. Patient

lamazeteacher replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

My point exactly! It isn't on the internet, probably because changes will be made to it in the Senate. However, I have an inside track to a politician who does have a copy of the one passed in...
No Prior Existing Conditions but Dead Anyway

lamazeteacher replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

Since no mention of family members becoming ill with H1N1 simultaneously, or after losing the posted relative, it seems that it's the host, not the bug that's responsible for rapid demise. I read...

Discharged from the hospital without answers; the death of Jane Q. Patient

lamazeteacher replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

lamazeteacher replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

i trust that while on the psychiatric unit, your relative was medicated to ease his mind, if not the illness he had. i know some people are stuck on keeping a doc who can't seem to do his/her job, to...

What it says, is that the doctors in that ER were negligent, stupid, and I sure hope suspended, until they take their work more seriously! I have Medicare and know that there are docs who like more...
