"Our Newly Built ER"
TITLE: Can't Care for a blood blister?
PROS: I didn't have wait long
CONS: The hole in my foot took 3 months to heal
As a patient with RSD/CRPS, I have to guard against this sort of care. The physician asked me to roll over so she could see it better. That being my RSD leg, so what came next took 3 months to heal, also caused my RSD to spread, but was sickeningly painful, but is contrary to care of ANY blister (as the skin is the only barrier against infection or creating further injury), as with RSD, your affected part isVERY hypersensitive to PAIN, this provider was apparently unaware I am healed now--3 months later. Steep price to pay. I wound up bed/homebound for nearly 3 months with home health and 3 day a week home health. I only went to appease my PCP. I DO know how to treat a blood blister-leave it alone & protect it.
TITLE: Have a contingency plan; don't have rare or
painful disorder
PROS: Animal Friendly
& shower aides are awesome
CONS
I informed them way
ahead of time I was having a portacath placed.
However, as soon as this was done--I was, with NO NOTICE, promptly
discharged-with no other arrangements made. My physician was not notified, nor
was I--until AFTER the port was placed, and advertised services were NOT ONCE
PROVIDED, unless it was a "Well, I am not supposed to," and you were
made to feel so privileged that they did their jobs. Wow!
They came into this knowing I had a rare and highly painful illness, and
I had to loan the primary RN a book on it, and it was returned 1 week before
discharge. I told them my port was being
place during mid---Feburary; the port was placed March 14; and I was
IMMEDIATELY discharged of ALL services-no notice, no recommendations of other
agencies that handle ports.
