Sorry, but the dog needs to stay where she is.  Parvo is highly contagious and very often fatal.  The dog needs constant monitoring by a trained staff, not a loving mom. 

Hope the baby gets better soon. Sorry to hear she came down with this.

My 72yo FIL was transferred to the trauma unit in a bigger city this past Saturday because of a fall and head injury he sustained Saturday morning.

Since he has been there (more than 48 hours now), he has not eaten and is not receiving a dextrose drip or the like through his IV. They only took complete x-rays, CT, and MRI on Sunday afternoon. The first time a doctor/resident evaluated him was on Sunday evening sometime after 9 p.m. Also, he is somewhat delusional. He knows his name and where he is, but he is grabbing at things in the air, wants to take the trash out, etc. This is definetly abnormal for him. He has always been alert and oriented.

My question is this: Should it take 36 hours before he is evaluated by a doctor? Is it normal not to give him any type of nourishment (no food, no IV) for more than 48 hours? Is it normal to wait 2 days to see a neurologist (who won't be in to see him until late today) when the main reason he was transferred was for neurology consult? I understand he went in on the weekend, but should it take this long to get answers.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

As long as you pay something every month, there is nothing they can do to you.

I would not take my money out of the CD's or move it.  Just keep paying something every month. 

pampered chef, anything you wanted to buy, you could purchase all on company time.  There were also people that would sell dinner plates through their church.

This "daylighting" is nothing new.  I myself on breaks would "deliver typed reports to an internal office."  I stayed in the building, but I was on my break (not paid) or on lunch (not paid).  So, what's the difference?

Tell me this isn't true; anyone who has worked on-site knows it happens every day.

as a nurse's aide, there were several episodes similar to that.  I was young about 19 to 20.  One particular episode, I went in and picked up a breakfast tray and asked the guy if he was ready for his shower.  He said yes, I told him I will be back with a new gown and towels.  He said okay.  When I came back in he was stripped down to nothing but his birth suit.  I put the towels down and went and told the other nurses about the incident.  Also, there was another man wanting me to wash his thing, KWIM.  If he were comatose or had both hands broken I would have to but there was not a thing wrong with this man and I refused.  I went and got another aide and asked her advice and she said she wouldn't either.   We told the nurse's and the doc about the incident and he wrote that up as an incident report.  

Usually men like that I took it that they had some screws loose. 

she went in with breathing problems, but the longer she was there the more issues came up.  She apparent came down with C. diff.  They started coming in with the yellow suits, for infectious disease precautions.  She finally asked why, and the nurse said according to her chart she had a history or MRSA with open wounds. I said WHAT.  The last problem she had with a wound was in 1987 with gallbladder surgery when she had a bile leak and some wound dehiscence.  MRSA was not even around then.  She has never been told anything about MRSA.

My question is:  Should I confront them and ask when this was diagnosed, and what the circumstances were.  I am wondering if this is another example of OFFSHORING records where mistakes were made.  I mean really, if this is an error I feel it should be corrected, and if not, why was she never told this?

It was a physician owned hospital.  The story was on CNN.  A man had back surgery there, had some sort of bad reaction to the anesthesia and the wife herself had to do CPR.  The surgeon walked in and told her to call 911. 

The hospital has been shut down.

I never said anything bad about Koreans or him being Korean - you have no idea who you are typing at on this board...I am so not racist and so tolerant but you'd have no clue about that. 

At the time I posted it was a 23-y/o Korean THE DETAILS of the details of who did the shooting had not hit the newswires UNTIL THEN.

Please get over yourself.

Isn't this one place we can type without worrying about doing something ridiculous like making a typo or a spelling error????  I sometimes get more anxiety about posting on here because everyone nitpicks it to death with the spelling and grammar I about hyperventilate.   Most of these messages are typed out so fast and in between files, that it is how it is.  Give people a break and remember people in glass houses should not throw stones.    Have a good day. Bet it makes you feel superior to be the first one that posted and pick apart her message.

By the way I have only used Stedmans and love it. 

I smoked over a pack a day for about 20 years.  October 2007, I starting taking it.  I took the first 3 weeks out of the 1 month pack and went in for a hysterectomy and stopped taking Chantix after that, but never started back up again. 

My husband, smoked 2 packs a day for at least 20 years, also took Chantix for 1 month and has stopped smoking.  He quit last January (14 months ago).

I did get VERY depressed on this medication and often had thoughts of suicide.  This went away after 3 months of not being on the medication but it was a horrible experience.  I think they now prescribe an antidepressant to take along with the Chantix. 

All I know is I could not have done it without them.  I love not being a smoker and cannot stand the smell of it anymore. 

GOOD LUCK!
