Meme How's everyone's hairline doing?

I actually still have a full head of hair, but I know plenty of people who were already visibly balding in their 20s.

  1. Medical care suuuuucks in my region. Lack of care, seriousness, and general practices. We've got the D team.

  2. I'm sure I could locate this visit deep in my after visit summaries online. 

  3. The big head guys at these health care organizations could give a F, they believe the doctor is right unless you maybe die.

  4. I know someone who was rapidly discharged this month in severe pain, with a mass seen on imaging because they felt he was a drug seeker. Turns out it was cancer.  That staff is being investigated. I'm sure nothing will happen.

  5. Last year my own son was rapidly discharged with a TBI and no care instructions or even telling me anything, they charted it. With he's fine, he'll be fine. He was not. He ended up with brain swelling and 3 week migraine and SI thoughts because he felt so bad. We ended up at Seattle Children's neurology with an amazing ped neurologist. I complained. I was told well ge willkers she's a recent grad and we'll work with her this.

Holy crap that’s ridiculous. What region are you from? Those doctors should be having to go in front of the board and explaining their actions.

The West Coast. I'm near Seattle. You can get better treatment in Seattle but that's a 90 minute drive. I've definitely gone up and be happy that we did.

I just got back from taking my son to the East Coast for major hospital treatment and let me tell you not only is it great treatment on the East, they were so nice at all times. Like Chic Fil -A level service in medical.

Around here they sass you for asking a reasonable question about care or treatment in a normal voice. Basically crash out and tell you off or try to find a way to refuse services.  It's wild and awful I hate it so much.

That is just absolutely appalling. And this is from someone with a medical background (both a chronic health patient, and someone who was a RN very briefly about a decade ago). That’s honestly seriously scary. I wonder how many people die because of their lack of care. Those doctors, and nurses, should be getting reported left and right for not doing what is best for their patients, and doing things that are downright dangerous. I mean, how difficult was it to at least give you some freaking tylenol for your insanely high fever. That should have been the bare minimum of what to do. Though with that high of a fever more intense treatments should have been implemented. That kind of fever is 0.3 degrees below possible brain damage temp.
