[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 8910, member: 3211"] Steph, First of all, I'm sorry you're not feeling well - that is scary! I would definitely call your doctor and see if he/she can squeeze you in asap! Secondly, I agree with Kris - write a letter and copy every important person at the hospital, including the Patient Advocate. Tell them, in the letter, that if you don't receive a response in xx number of days, you will forward your letter on to your local newspaper - that always gets their attention. I am sorry to say that I felt the need to write a 3-page letter to one of our local hospitals after one of difficult child's ER trips when he needed to be admitted to the psychiatric hospital. They called for a meeting, which we had - and I again expressed my frustration, etc. I was assured that it was an isolated incident and that they had future changes in plan that would make any future visit better. The reason I am so sad about it is that our visit in October was even longer and even worse, but the more nasty letters and complaints they receive, the more likely it is that they will start to listen, I think. So, write your letter. And, feel better. {{{hugs}}} [/QUOTE]
