It’s hard for women to be believed at hospitals/doctors etc. They tend to get a stigma attached to them for whatever reason. So speak up for your wife if she gets half assed diagnosis or treatments moving forward. She’ll need you to have her back!

Lots of docs have the god complex and are cunts on top of that, awesome recipe for being a caregiver

My god man, this is some crazy thing that happened. How could you not burst out in rage towards that idiot doc?

Glad to hear your wife is going better and hopefully she’ll have a good and quick recovery.

And that bill… wtf. 158k!! Is your insurance covering this?

Yes brother.... thank GOD....she just got insurance less than i year ago..... Trust me, i wanted to pummel that douchebag

 

[mytreefiddy]

That sounds terrifying. There's nothing worse in life than seeing someone you love in danger. I don't care if every bone in my body gets crushed, just don't let anything happen to someone I care about.
I really hope she's ok.
Also, congratulations on not murdering that asshole doctor, I'm sure you were tempted.

Thank you brother......... You don't even knowwwwwww!!! My fiance was FUMING!! Call a Latin woman crazy and see what happens...

I realize there is more concerns than prednisone withdrawal, but i tell you that can be a bitch. Hope all goes well.

For real. That shit is no joke... She's all over the place... But shes tough as fuck... I think 7-10 days.... Her cortisol is in the toilet

They shouldnt be called "Caregivers" as they really dont give a fuck.... Look, i get it. Its still a biz... a BOOMING biz.... but have some fucking compassion...even if you don't give a shit..... I will say the nurses were amazing.... Thos ER nurses are badasses... the shit they see, i dont know how they do it

It’s common to see this in any profession when someone with a weak mind/poor self image gets even a minuscule amount of power over another human

Do you mind sharing which hospital this happened at?
I think we live in the same area.

Memorial East off of Johnson in Hollywood. I'm surprised because everyone says its a great hospital.. Maybe so, but the doctors suck

Hey MTF, sorry to hear about the troubles. It's hard when it's someone you love and you can't do much.

The thing I would still be concerned about, is what caused the shock, head pain, and disorientation originally. She wasn't on the prednisone at that point. In regards to the aneurysm, be it carotid, thoracic, or abdominal, it's a weakening of the vessel wall, that's all. The weakness in wall wouldn't give her those symptoms. This may sound weird right now, but she actually "lucked out" by having them find the carotid aneurysm. Most people that have one don't know it until it bursts, which has a high fatality rate. This may have saved her life in the long run! I would still be concerned about the original issue unless it was actually brought on by stress/anxiety.

I have a friend who's dad was being scanned for something and inadvertently they found a thoracic aortic aneurysm. He was at Stanford. They told him it can be genetic. He has two sons, my friend and his brother. Both were tested and my friend has a small thoracic aortic aneurysm. His brother does not. The doctor mentioned that some people are born with it. I'm telling you this since it can be genetic and you mentioned children. I'm not sure at what age they start testing, but it's something you'll want to ask the doctor.

I wish you guys well and hope everything keeps trending in the right direction and the surgery goes great!!

I hear you.... However, they dont know when it formed. Maybe it was alot smaller and it grew?? Maybe it formed that day? How does anybody know? They dont. All the CTs and MRI's they said other than the aneurysm her brain is perfect.... I saw it with my own eyes..... like she got zapped with electricity.... I was like wtf was that!.... went downhill right after that....

Man I’m sorry. Reading your experience, I felt like I was there in the room. I’ve been there soo many times. Docs look at charts walk in, say it’s xxx or yyy walk out. Nurses paging doctors….hey something isn’t right, we are going downhill. “ oh they are fine. Hangs up phone”

Hospitals are like a mechanics garage. Fix the worst problem, as quickly as you can and get them out the door. All about money. Every administration decision is not on patient care, patient outcomes…..it’s the god almighty dollar.

Narcissism is strong in doctors. Not all of them…some are grounded, and they are epic. But they are almost as rare as unicorns.

For every good doctor, there’s always another that just barely squeezed by and passed. Just looking at the number of malpractice suits is insane some of
These people are still employed.

I work with one of the best Healthcare systems, and even here we deal with treatment plans based on false assumptions.
Confirmation bias is a very real thing, and often worse in elite hospital systems. The doctor will have their favorite diagnostic explanations and not look at the bigger picture at all when assessing and treating the patient.
