[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 172845, member: 1697"] I should have said, I do understand noone wants to talk with me, becuz she IS 18....I get that part, I do. So- like the 2 colleges, I understand....but, literally, seriously, she is half conscious. and I thought her univ would want to know they DO now have an open dorm spot and an open spot in the classes easy child was registered for. But, I understand, and I am not so frustrated with any of them. BUT the doctor? and ER? easy child did the required paperwork, easy child discussed with her doctor about being able to talk to me, and then...who could have known easy child would get THIS ill, like this....how else can we get word to her doctor? whether she has signed anything or not, the fact is, she needs care and she is beyond ability to get that care herself... and ER keeps referring her back to the doctor. I checked phone book, the docs do not seem to put in phone book if they do "high risk"- so I am not sure who to call. I was high risk and this was my doctor. It is like "pass the buck" ER sends her to doctor, doctor sends her to er and neither really is very willing to SEE her. Meanwhile she gets more and more ill. It started 2 weeks ago. The ONLY intake she has had that did not come back up on its way down was LAST thurs she ate 3-4 bites of plain roast turkey and a teaspoon of plain mashed potatos, and held it for 2 hours. Freezer pops, gatorade, ice chips, lukewarm weak tea, flat gingr ale in sips, saltines, plain baked potato, plain boiled white rice, sherbert, jello- it ALL comes right back before it even goes down. she has on motion sickness bracelts on both wrists. When she can sit, she sits in a lukewrm-tepid tub.....she tried mint, lemon drops, watermelon, dry toast, ginger snaps, fresh ginger tea, some weird something in a bottle, ? from bfs dads girlfriend, some ? homeopathic something to smell...... The ER was getting mean on her last time, demanding since she IS 18, that she be alone in her room while just laying there waiting for doctor......becuz "after all she IS 18" which freaked easy child out and I pointed to sign on wall that said max 2 visitors per patient and said HEY! wait! and they keep saying they are not for long term care, we need to see our doctor, and I keep telling them doctor sent us there....doctor does not DO rehydration in office.....doctor does not DO ekg in office.....and I also keep saying doctor is not even permitting an exam, just keeps sending us here...... and docs office just keeps telling me easy child is 18 and she HAS to call herself....and I keep saying, she has signed HIPPAAA and MPOA and she is far far too ill..... Well, now her throat thing is worse. she cannot even whisper, cannot swallow even saliva in her mouth.....I was wrong, she did not take the phenrgan, couldn't..she tried, it would not go down. Loks like maybe I will call an ambulance? or take her on a road trip out of this area, to the city, or something......I'm not sure what. [/QUOTE]
