Complaints
March 16, 2009
We still have about 12″ of snow on the ground. I only went smelt fishing once this year, now I am getting my worms in good health and drying the castings for spring planting, if it ever comes.
Well back to my stay at the Wentworth Douglas Hospital, Dover N.H. On Monday March 12 2009 I was scheduled to have a test. They put a camera down your throat and look at the back side of your heart to see if there is any damage. You cant have anything to eat or drink from midnight on. In comes the team at 11:30 and wheel me into the next empty room down the hall. In this room is 6 people, no doctor. they hook me up to oxygen and start the anestia. The head nurse asks me whether this a conversion test or a Zee conversion? She asks me, I told her it said on the board in my room a Zee conversion. Well she says I cant use this #12 needle for a Zee conversion , I need a # 22. Why didnt somebody tell her? The nurse had to change my IV. The next question is, is there a crash cart in the room. Everybody looks around for the crash cart. no crash cart to be found. It is decided that there must be one on the second floor, she sends one of the nurses down to borrow the crash cart. She comes back and says it is needed on the second floor, but she says if we need it she can go down and get it. Nothing can be done without this crash cart or should I say nothing should be done without it. Now we proceed with the procedure and in comes the cardiolgist. I ask him if my cardioligst knows any thing about this. His answer was dont worry ill inform him when we are done. That was the last straw for me. I got up and left, I asked them to let him know Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Another point of interest is on my admission slip they had the wrong primary care doctor, i asked that it be changed, sure no problem. Every piece of paper all weekend had the wrong doctors name and on each piece of paper I crossed out the wrong name and wrote in the right one. Guess who got my records when I got out? You guessed it.
i have a couple of more stories but my finger is quite sore after this one, so Ill continue tomorrow.
