Call to Avenue "goes through" eventually. We are instructed to take FM there. FM is hustled back to the ambulance. It is now 1am.
The rude people on the other side of the phone can make you want to weep with frustration. From answering phones with a brusque and ominous "ehhh?" in the middle of the night, like a vampire rising out of a coffin to feed. Terrible.
Twist-because nursing care is sketchy at Avenue, FM contracts pneumonia while admitted
My purpose, as with all such stories, is to highlight the crisis in Healthcare in this country. This kind of thing is unsustainable. It can't work. Many have died when it didn't work.
Thank you.
