My mom is back at the ER. She fell Wednesday, & this afternoon was too weak to get out of a chair to go to a Dr appointment. Only thing they can find is an elevated white blood count. She took the 2nd 💉 in March. She started sleeping a lot & has lost about 10 lbs since May.
Based on my personal experience w/ hospitals & drs past 2 1/2 yrs, there are no heroes in the medical industry, & that's what it is, an industry. Hospitalist orders a hospice consult, even though there's no diagnosis. Asking about a D-Dimer weirded him out.
Says he didn't think it was done, but would check. I said I wanted a D-Dimer. Said after meds she was given, wouldn't show anything. I said do a D-Dimer. No one came in to draw blood all day. Went to RN, she looked up tests & said no D-Dimer was done & Dr didn't order one.
She was going to message and say family wants a D-Dimer test, and we don't want to wait until 5AM blood draw.
