Today was a rough day. I had to deal w/a Dr that wouldn't get her the treatment she needed. (The hospitalist felt that she needed to have some suction on her stomach as it was getting distended.) I did put my poor nurse in a bad spot. I finally got mad & left the room looking for DM's nurse. I had just got off the phone w/someone that wouldn't let me talk to the other DR. I was very frustrated & was gonna get the nurse, the hospitalist & whoever it took to to get it done. The thing was as I started calling the nurse's name, the very Dr I needed was walking down the hall. I know that I had to look like I was frantic w/my long grey hair flying. I ran up to him & grabbed his hand & took him in to DM's room. (I think he thought she was dyeing.) He examined her (for the first time I might add) & ordered the suction!
My asthma is acting up big time! I coughed all day today. Sigh!
