Visited my dad today in the hospital since I didn't make it to see him this weekend. But I came when he had just gotten out of dialysis, so he was really out of it and sleepy. My mom was there too. We had some really good timing though. She went out and asked the nurse for the phone number for my dad's neurologist. It is always such an ordeal to get a hold of one of the doctors in the hospital, forget about seeing one. How these people can treat someone correctly when they only see them once or twice a week and only stay for 5 minutes is beyond me. My opinion of hospitals and everyone who works in them has really suffered from our experiences with Baltimore Washington Medical Center, formally known as North Arundel Hospital. Continuing that will only lead to an angry blog, so let's move on to the good part of my day. Well, my mom asks for his phone number and the nurse asks if she would like to speak with him, he is seeing another patient right now but he is available. My mom was like Hell yeah, I want to talk to him! Actually no, that was my response but it would have been funny if my mom said that! We waited around and I began to think he wasn't going to come. Not only did he show up, he listened to us and our concerns! Amazing! He actually examined my dad! He changed his medicine at my suggestion! Holy shit! I spoke up about a medicine I had heard about for diabetes nerve pain management and Dr. Miller said, that is a good idea, I will do that! Awesome! I am so glad that I mentioned it and I really hope it helps relieve the severe pain my dad is in.
