The nursing staff were great. Went above to help in anyway they could. The doctors were not. They were curt and no time for patient. They got offended if asked questions beyond what they wanted to say. I feel I was sent home from icu step down unit before I was ready to leave and told I could wait at home for lung biopsy results as well as sit in the hospital waiting on them. Each night my vitals dropped but by day they stayed normal although this was not addressed before I was discharged. I was put NPO 2 nights in a row then told after noon both days when I sat quietly waiting for procedure that I wasn t getting it. I had a doctor tell me he was to busy and what did I want when I asked to speak with him about procedure. I tried to show where I am swollen from ankles to my hips before discharge and doctor said it s nothing.
So now here I am 24 hrs later still sitting at home waiting on a call that may or may not come that may or may not be life changing. And mind you this all comes after a doctor tells me my first night admitted I have lung cancer. And the last doctor tells me to follow up with an oncologist after I get my biopsy results.
