i was sent home from this hospital once in December and once in January. The second time they sent me home i left in tears and in more pain than when i got there... i told them that too. The doctor told me to just take my meds and i "should" be fine. "What if i am not?" i asked. Her reply... "come back"

COME BACK? i was already there, why did i have to come back?

i tried to be strong and follow her recommendations and give the meds time to work. Two days later we called 911 i was rushed to a different hospital (at my request).

i am so sad for what has happened to our hospitals.

one word...euthanasia...would save so much money and free up beds not to mention it will help these poor old bastards with shit eating them from the inside out go nice and peacefully.

Bed shortages are a plague in our health care system, and with the baby boomers getting on in age, my perdiction is it is going to get worse before it gets any better.

Shitty to hear you had a bad experience with a hospital kitty, unfortunately i'm sure everyone can relate with a story of their own.

on a side note, what a FANTASTIC picture you have for your avitar, absolutaly breathtaking.....self portrate?
