My mother has been a nurse for over 20 years and after multiple doctors appointments and NUMEROUS ER visits, she insisted that I have an upper Endoscopy. LOW AND BEHOLD, I had a serious stomach infection that lead me to have over 80% of my stomach removed immediately. That left me in the hospital for a few days over a month and with a feeding tube for 42.. oh yeah, can't forget almost dying in the hospital and having collapsed lungs which lead to multiple hospital stays-- oh yeah and I got lice in the hospital. And then for a month after the surgeries (yes, two of them due to my becoming septic because the stuff they were giving me in the feeding tube leaked into my abdominal cavity), I had to go to the hospital every other day to get IV iron and blood transfusions. And while I had the lovely feeding tube for 42 days in the middle of a hot FL summer-- I could not have anything to drink, not even an ice chip. I feel your pain, love.<br />(you can read about it at ugottahavehart.blogspot.com)Jamie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647695451924710359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767878335192065262.post-47920424991823220912013-01-24T19:45:58.261-08:002013-01-24T19:45:58.261-08:00wow! i can't believe you went through all of t...wow! i can't believe you went through all of this and they were such shitty docs! i told you i went through stuff like that w/ abe when he was sick, they just wouldn't listen to me and I KNEW what was wrong w/ him, so he was un-necessarily sick for two weeks before I changed docs! I hate that! seems like they would have thought about it being that right away! I've head the pain is horrible and worse than childbirth, and at least when you are in labor you know what's wrong w/ you and are expecting an awesome delivery, but with this you had no idea and that's just horrible! Did they say you may have more in the future???!!!!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942830706876343792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767878335192065262.post-1717313572654451602013-01-24T19:01:14.987-08:002013-01-24T19:01:14.987-08:00So glad you're feeling better, but what an awf...So glad you're feeling better, but what an awful ordeal for you to go through! <br /><br />I've been through something similar with doctors/nurses not listening to me (although it was not nearly as bad as a kidney stone!) and it was incredibly frustrating. Some doctors and nurses just hate to be wrong and called out about it, but like you said they don't know everything.<br /><br />Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153149217472000710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767878335192065262.post-35522421489739045532013-01-24T18:18:41.942-08:002013-01-24T18:18:41.942-08:00Omg!

Being one, I know how much emphasis and persuasion they can place on doctors (most of the times) and should be patient advocates. I'm glad you are feeling better.
