Our health care system is like the Click in high school

So my son who is never sick was down for five days - like wiped out

I took him in - his liver is inflamed so ya- the ER doc kept him and ran tests - the next morning - I was back at 7am - the er doc he had left, but the on call physician wouldn’t come see him

So they admitted him on paper, so he had to deal with his own doc - except his doc has been on holidays - so he got the fill in doc - who discharged him - fml

I will be taking him to the city today because he’s still down and I’m Not in the mood for the bait and switch game and really tired of the treat em and street them game !

This a 19 year old boy they are playing with who is never sick …. Ya think they would pay attention …

In the land of surgeries - septoplasty turbine reduction deviated Septum repair has to be the most painful thing I’ve ever done - lay that on top of migraines and diabetes and you get the perfect storm …. Forget trying to talk to your surgeon after - theyre on holidays

I’m pretty patient, and I’ve had the eyerolls and degrating from my migraines for years - like i chose it - everything impossible can holistically - but it you are ever tagged a drug seeker - (despite your allergies to nsaids and tylenol and no options - ) n who wouldn’t be after your face is cut up - you are so screwed - guess I shoulda got the Percocet or oxy as prescribed and popped it like m&m s - what was i thinking trying to do it with help - then i get offered gravol and fluids - yep that’s going to help - I just shake my head

So as I understand it, you get plowed with prescribed meds for a year, then you get mad so you self refer yourself to an ent - you get surgery cause ( oops your nose is broken ) and they’ve been medicating bone for sinus infections - not a thing - and your the one that gets in s**t - yep sounds fair

U think if doctors are allowed to k abe degrading comments or accusations - patients should get to too

Heres a thot - in a migraine flare - we would lick a gophers ass n not fight if we were told it worked - we are at the point we are physically emotinally and spiritually exhausted -

I haven’t posted here for awhile - but I’m going into a different field now, and this will be my priority ..,

So here’s my Gaslit story of the day -

Take a Hemiplegic Migraine add septoplasty a turbine reduction and sinus surgery - diabetes - add in glands swollen in your neck - you cant swallow and before you get help, and actually show them - the day after you get amoxicilla that its getting worse - or say what you think is wrong - you sit thru a lecture - you listen and process - because you have to - love these degrading chats - like after havung my body s**t kicked for 15 years - I know nothing - I was the crash test dummy for the king of prescriptions years ago - the Treat em and street them era is annoying -

I’ve said it before ill say it again - you are your own advocate and defence - you know what works and you know what doesn’t - sometimes the pain is so high you just say okay to whatever - I get that - cause even a lil help is better than none.

I love the Branding I do - I’m
Still trying to make sense out of why my refusal to take percocet or oycodone or suboxone - is actually and attack on my management of pain - I can pop pills I was prescribed - 5mg every 4 hours - or fight as hard as I can for days and just take 5 mg instead - im doing the math here - because id rather throw up - hit walls - hit the floor - and suffer - than deal with the judgement most days

Honestly most people just dont have the energy to even fight - they are exhausted emotionally mentally physically from the multiple times they have been gaslight, or put up with the eyerolls or the branding - you cant give up - silence is not safe -

A car has 4 tires - here I’ll give you two run on that - hey why you keep coming back for two more tires ? Maybe I shoulda gave you four to run on to begin with. Or listened.

So as i start to release my years of journals just know, if no one is helping you - trust me I get it - you are weeks away from seeing your doctor - and months from a specialist… or surgery ….been there - our healthcare System is a s**tshow - my Doc is exhausted and i appreciateall he does - but the system is a black hole - don’t lose hope don’t give up - you just gotta fight better, smarter not harder and you will find someone who will listen - someday - I miss the days when you could call and talk to them - now it’s like your trying to personally talk to God 🤦‍♀️

So although I appreciate the third neck how about we don’t play with an infection - not this week 😂

If your doctor doesn’t listen to what’s wrong with you - but gives meds you have a dealer not a doctor

So this was pretty much my look for 2023 - We had the ice Age, then our province literally burned all summer - we all ate fire and smoke 24/7 - a lot of illness and loss - for everyone and then wrapped it all up with a break in - honestly I just shook my head I was so tired from 2023 if a meteor landed in the center of they building, I’d of said what a pretty Rock and threw glitter on it 🤣- that’s just life, and I’m grateful for every day of it ❤️

All in all the good outweighed the bad - I saw more love in humanity than in a long time, I saw more people help each other out, and that was Beautiful, and more people come together like the Amazing Loving Giving Community we are !❤️

Our entire Christmas projects from the Winter Wonderland to the purses of Love, to the Giving Trees, to the Giving Cupboard, to the celebrations - was undoubtedly the best part - so much love - Thank you everyone who played a part ! We couldn’t do all we do without you ❤️

When I hear “Your the strongest woman I know, that is only because I am surrounded by the Strongest women I know “ and I love them dearly ❤️ starting with my 86 year old Mom ❤️

So Merry Christmas and here’s to a New Loving year - the Gratitude I have for everyone in my life, that I know and am Blessed to meet is Unmeasurable ❤️

Now Before I subscribe to 2024, I need to see the terms and conditions 😂

Love you All ❤️

Take prescribed steroids before, and then be sick for days after - thanks to the dye (pros outweighs the cons ) I was told - bulls**t

I’ve been sick since the dye - it didn’t get warm it literally felt like acid in my veins - after the reaction - out of the four days after the ct - 3 of those days the hospital has been closed - no s**t and the second day after I sat for three hours in a room without a nurse or doc even seeing if I had a pulse - this is the future of the worst health care system ever

Over my dead ass body would I ever let this crap hit my body again - the dye was terrible, I’m diabetic so the steroids cause complete havoc, but the aftercare was even worse with the exception of one doctor and she is amazing -

I’ve had my ass kicked a lot in the last few weeks trying to make up for neglecting my health - too busy too scared too independent eating crap all of it lol

There was a time in my lifetime when doctors didn’t sit on laptops they stopped in , or called - when getting an appointment didn’t require 2 weeks to 8 months - when you trusted the system

Here’s what I feel - you know your body and when it’s not running right you fight with whatever energy you have left - to restore it - but if your intuitive - fight harder - because sometimes they don’t listen, or their swamped, and sometimes meds to calm your “anxiety” aren’t the problem - I often wonder how many people are on all the meds for everything - that you never even heard of on the 80’s - Ativan seems to be the miracle pill - might as well put it in Pez containers 🤣

My opinion the world has changed from patient care to Treat em n Street em - but there still are amazing Docs that care ❤️

Now I’m Blessed to be surrounded by what’s left of what I call the Greatest Doctors - I can talk dispute challenge and they don’t ride their egos, they listen and have literally walked me thru some of the hardest challenges in my medical journey - but In that journey I’ve learned to stand up speak up - because we are all humans and there is error

Recently I was sent for ct scan to see if my hamster was still on my wheel - brain scan - what a rodeo - I’m Allergic to the contrast dye so they set up a protocol for 150 of Prednisone- and Benadryl - so I didn’t go into anaphylactic shock - if you are on that drug - your a rockstar - my body hates every second of it - and mixed with the contrast dye - by the time I was done the scan - I was naturally throwing up - they hustle you threw like cattle - technition was amazing - but her assistant or whatever she was - clearly needed more coffee - she was so sweet (not) lol
So I’m Told to wait for half hour and to get treatment if it doesn’t subside - I hit the highway and as I pull into town I again hear on the radio the hospital is closed - how fantastic ! Maybe we need a drive thru lol 😂

Our walk in clinics are by appointment
Our hospital is having a staffing shortage
Testing for anything is months away

I truly feel We waste so much money on dumb crap m, every facility should have a mri and ct scanner - and incentives for technitions to run them, give the docs a bonus for working the ER

Im Not a fan of the third Rock from the sun doctoring where lap tops are used to diagnose - I loathe that - how can you truly see or know what is wrong with people - even my tire guy makes me bring my truck in 🤦‍♀️ -

I guess my point to all this is we are all fighting our way thru an incredibly broken system - as frustrating as it can get - stand up speak out - and be kind to what’s left of our exhausted medical staff -

So awesome !!

I’ve spent the summer not laying in a beach - but fighting for the health I’ve lost for 10 years -

My I’m too busy or here I’ll do that for you, or I got this - trying to prove I’m Independent and not a whiner - came full circle this July - On top of that - in a horribly structured health care system - the fight alone to get treatment is an exhausting battle all by itself

Watch your own health , your meds , your procedures - because everyone is overwhelmed - things are missed and in the end you are the recipient of those mistakes

Example I was booked for a ct scan for suspected mini strokes - lost vision in one eye a few times - I drive 45 minutes to get there - as they go to administer contrast dye I say hey I’m allergic to that - instantly it stops and they tell me there’s a protocol for that

Now because the lil box was checked on the requisition- with no allergies - even tho it’s on every treatment form I have , this could have not ended well

So being a diabetic alone is enough of a challenge - and Now they want me to take prednisone 3x before I go in again 13 hrs before 7 hours before then one hour before - steroids and diabetes are not friends - then Benadryl - I understand the logic - it’s to prevent anaphylactic reactions - however I’m
Not comfortable with this at all - I’ve been a science experiment in the system before - now I research and bother whomever I need to - to get advice first - and trust my gut - you know who knows your body ? You - so don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself ! There is nothing more complicated than trying to restore what you’ve ignored ❤️
