I never knew anything about medicare
never needed to until now. My grandmother is in the hospital on and off since October when she had triple bypass and then a host of virual infections and Missed diagnosis by idiot doctors who dont look at the whole picture but just 1 issue or ailment
Now medicare steps in with this...
Monday afternoon 4pm POURING rain outside the hospital, 4 nurses walk into my grandmothers room and announce
"ok Mrs. Spear we are releasing you now"
NO notice no time to get her ready as she is bed ridden.
When asked why they were releaseing her all of a sudden
"Medicare Guidlines" she has used her medicare benifits up! so we must release her to a secondary facility instead of waiting 1-2 days for a bed to become avail at her rehab facility. so now they will move her 2x instead of 1
Thank GOD my mother was there and told them to stick their guidlines up their ass and her mother wanst going anywhere in this weather with no advance notice. Now you can see whrere I get it from
They were lucky I wasnt there. I have 1 thousand care issues that I am going to the local News with as soon as she is out of there
These fucking idiots put an IV into her arm for antibiotics but never bothered to check it
4 days later her arm looks like a football and all because they missed the vein and she never got the prescribed dose of antibiotic as it was pumping into her tissue and not her blood stream, because of that she is still extremely sick.
and that is just 1 problem.
News orgs love this kind of shit
and I have a BIG MOUTH
Fuckers....
