and yet more update

mom is ok; hospitalist gone. darn. got her over to 'her' hospital, and
her blood sugar is almost normal. one nurse at mom's hospital said
that mom's pcp (now that he's been told she was even *in* hospital,
thank you, idiot bitch hospitalist) said on the phone to her that it
looked to him like it was the result of a number of things coming
together that caused this to happen -- elevated white blood cell count
from a previously-unnoticed infection (mommy decided to not take any
of her dentist's antibiotics after extensive bridgework week before
last because, according to mummers, dentists aren't doctors and should
not be prescribing antibiotics), plus blood sugar of 483 (unbeknownst
to me, she stopped ALL diabetes meds back in October because she
thinks she was told to during her last hospitalisation -- she wasn't,
she's batshit crazy), plus mom seriously physically exerting herself
on monday night (don't even get me started on that one, i was fussing
at her about it already), plus the newly-discovered left ventricle
insufficiency (mild), plus low potassium @ time of admission to ED on
Tuesday, so it might be assumed it was low before. she'll hear from
her *real* cardiologist tomorrow, but for right now the pcp has said
to treat the blood sugar as cc cos he thinks that put her into the
seizure-like state, then her heart crapped out during the blood sugar
seizure under the stress of all the other aforementioned conditions.
they've got her on a heart monitor of course, but it's good. well,
it is *ok*. for mommy. and so she may be released soon, with a
follow-up to a new endocrinologist (she quit her last one unbeknownst
to me back around march for some completely retarded reason, like he
wears orange, or he parts his hair on the right), and an
electrophysiologist.

oh! oh! want to know what that idiot bitch hospitalist gave mummers
when we checked her out? a prescription for a WALKER, and GAIT
TRAINING with a physical therapist. no, i am not joking. this is
because mom has 'a history of falling' (ummm...no). she also listed
mommy's cc as syncope (leading to my yelling at her in the hall.
syncope? my ass; try asystole), and even told meg 'old people fall all
the time; you and your sister need to calm down -- every time an old
person falls, it is not a cardiac problem'. yes, that's right -- mom
'just fell', and she 'just fell' because she is 'a little old lady',
and little old ladies 'just fall' all the time.

perhaps in *your* world, you dumb whore, because it seems that you
*look* for falls to the exclusion of anything else.

omfg we are *so* going around on monday. the good news is this
hospital is practically right around the corner, so i can be a
nuisance in the admin wing until someone does something about this
bint. i so very have rabies right now.
