For the first time I really stood up for myself as a patient & questioned the doctor. I told him how the nurses didn't even bother to look at my arm during the night. I asked about the antibiotics I had been given the previous two times because they seemed to take effect immediately. I asked why he thought it had sepsis even though my vitals were normal at last check. I was really angry! I was ready to sign myself out AMA.
He ended up changing antibiotic to what I'd had before. I felt bad getting so snarky with him but, dang, it's my arm!
So I spent another night there and got home this afternoon. I'm tired and achy but glad to be out of that place and their mean little heparin shots!!
And the blood draws from my feet!
