My health is not doing well

[Mama2onelilboy]

I went in on Easter Sunday to the er via ambulance, by calling 911 , 12 hours later I was admitted for a possible blood clot in the lungs, Even though I was feeling faint light headed and very dizzy and weak. 

So after being admitted I only saw a doctor for 2 mins, then had more test and went the whole day with no care, I rarely got any help from the nurses, I wasn’t allowed to get out of bed without assistance and now I have a UTI and I am planning on filing a grievance with the medical board against the hospital for lack of care and against the doctor for negligence, Since when I was in the hospital he was to lazy to put in my file that I no longer needed blood thinners., and was almost given another dosage of blood thinner had I not spoken up. 

I think the only let me out since I told them I was going to go against them with a grievance against them to the medical board. 

So now I am out of the hospital , with new symptoms and feeling worse, I am going to go lay down, my mother , father and babysitter have been helping me with Jude’s care.

My symptoms, are tremors, seizures, hot flashes, extreme dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness in my whole body, cotton mouth, cold sweats. 

I feel like I am on the teacup ride with a sway, even when laying down. 

I can only stand for so long with out collapsing., my poor mother who I haven’t been on the best terms is horrible worried about me. 

Need some well wishing and prayers, I don’t see my doctor till 11:45 am on Thursday, since that’s the soonest they will see me. 

Anyone have any tips on how to handle health issues and making doctors listen?

I am so sorry. It sounds like you need a new doctor and immediate medical care. I hope things improve for you.

From my experiences in the hospital, if you are having trouble with the nursing staff, ask to speak to the nursing supervisor. The nursing supervisor is not the floor supervisor, but in charge of all nursing services.

Wow! I'm sorry your going through this! If I were you I would call and demand to be seen first hing tomorrow am! If they tell you no, you have someone drive down there-walk in and tell them you are NOT LEAVING till you see your Dr. In the mean time try to wright down all of your symptoms, what you were doing before it happened, and keep track of what you are eating. I wish you the best of luck and keep me posted!!
