Had lunbar puncture and came to the er with spinal leak. The anesthesiologist on call said they used too big of a needle to do a blood patch. Talked to a neurosurgeon next day and she said thats bs they use a standard sized needle. They called the anesthesiologist at home and im pretty sure he just didn't want to come in.. Now I have to wait another day for the blood patch when it should have been done yesterday.. drs also forgot to refill my pain meds at least 3x last night. It took my crying in pain to get them when it should have been stayed ontop of..
Only good thing is the nurses are nice.
