Jack, our son in law is in surgery having a gall stone removed. I am a bit irriated at the hospital. He went to the er yesterday morning in severe pain. After a bit, they told him it was his acid reflux acting up and maybe an ulcer, he should schedule a scope with his doc. Gave him some meds and sent him home. He kept getting worse, once the pain med that the hospital gave him wore off. So he went back. They said his white blood cell count was high, and did tests. Gall stone. Now I just have a problem with them sending him home yesterday morning, and he is in surgery this morning
And on top of that, while we were standing there yesterday morning: We saw an old couple. The man was in a wheel chair with an oxygen mask on. Two nurses walked up and got upset and asked the nurse there why he had an oxygen mask on. She felt like he "needed it". They said that was the worse thing she could have done and they are yanking the mask off him. Now you would think the nurse at the front desk of er should know what she is doing.
