dad coded again last night..he cant take much more

Got a call around 120 last night that dad had coded again and we needed to get up there. So I rush up there mad as hell that they let my dad die again. Its only so many times you can die and be brought back and twice in two weeks isnt a good thing. The doctor wouldnt let me back there and he started talking to me about what happened. Basically ever since the surgery he had been bleeding and they seen where he was bleeding excessivly externally yesterday but the dumb fucks didnt check him internally so basically he had been bleeding, it was going into his lungs which says to me he was drowning in his own blood. So I hear that and fly off the handle on this doctor. I was PISSED. He got three officers to watch me because of how bad I went off on him. I told him I was contacting a lawyer and that from now on I want doctors who actually know what the hell they are doing and DIDNT get their degree out of a happy meal box. Then went on to tell him when I do sue that place I will make sure its called the "Hoyt Nelson (my dad) Hospital for Vets with a Death Wish" being that everytime someone walks in they die.  I cant believe how bad the medical team there sucks. The one doctor he had was great, but now that hes gone its went drastically downhill. So finally they take him down for a CT scan to see where the bleeding is coming from and then they take him to surgery to correct it. Another doctor came in and was talking to the family "addressing our concerns (actually just mine) about the quality of care he is getting" then asked me if I gave the OK for them crack his chest if need be. I said yes, do anything you have to do to save him. That upset me alot knowing that it might come down to that. But luckily he made it out of surgery ok and is now alittle more stable. They are giving him more blood again and so will have to see how he holds up. I didnt wanna leave at all but had to get the kids off the bus so figured I would give everyone a update while I have a few minutes.
