My wife was transported by chopper from St Marys Hospital in Victorville to Arrow Head Regional on Saturday night after she was found nearly unresponsive at home mid after noon. Doctors at St Mary's found she had a blockage of fluid on her brain and badly needed critical attention they were not prepared to treat.
My wife is still sitting in ICU after they drilled a hole in her skull and still has not received an MRI to find the problem; Arrowhead personal stating they need an Anesthesiologist to sedate her. No one has a clue when an MRI could or will be scheduled.

It is Tuesday...........No answers; my wife's condition is deteriorating and we are calling our insurance carrier to request transport or by wheelchair to Loma Linda for emergency treatment we are not getting; we are blowing this Popsicle stand and getting some professional attention. The nurses are great, doctors/management a different story. It's what you might expect from a county hospital, everyone on cruse control.
