The Unexpected Road from Bedrest to Emergency Room
Manage episode 500902025 series 3503973
I recently experienced another bout of pneumonia that led to an unexpected five-day hospital stay after a mobile urgent care visit went sideways. What should have been a simple antibiotic prescription turned into a medical drama when a nurse suggested I might have a blood clot, leading to miscommunication and an ambulance ride.
• High risk for pneumonia due to cerebral palsy, weakened lungs, and being temporarily bed-bound
• Called mobile urgent care when my doctor was unresponsive and previous endocrinologist was unhelpful
• Mobile nurse from Texas (via video chat) escalated situation by suggesting blood clots
• Miscommunication led to signing medical refusal forms and calling an ambulance
• Spent Tuesday through Saturday in the hospital on antibiotics, thankfully avoiding C. diff complications
• Still recovering and exhausted, with compromised voice
• Exciting secret project reveal coming in next week's episode
Tune in next week when I'll finally share the secret project I've been working on behind the scenes!
