Hey All.

Tuesday night, about 8 pm Hubby's mom fell - suspected broken hip. Ambulance took her to East General. Hospital called us; I got there about 9; Hubby got there about 10. Hubby took his Dad home and stayed with him, I stayed with her.

She finally got into an Emerg room at shortly after midnight (had been on a gurney in the Emerg check-in area). About 3 am - still no doctor but I raised enough of a stink that she finally received some medication for pain

FYI - I had asked that she have meds a number of times prior to that and was given the standard, can't give her anything until she's seen by a doctor. Absolutely reasonable, unless someone is asked to lie on a broken bone for 6 hours while being forced to take a backseat to Emerg patients who could still walk, were not having trouble breathing and were not bleeding - however, they received priority because they were in hand-cuffs and accompanied by cops. I realize that Metro's Finest need to get on with it - I sure as heck would rather they be on the street and not cooling their heels in Emerg - but at what point is a cop's time more important than a person needs medical attention? Four lowlifes took precedence over her. Really???

Dr. saw her at 4:30 am and ordered x-rays. She had her xrays at 7 am which confirmed broken hip. Admitted to hospital 8 am.

In anticipation of surgery, blood work was done. Revealed blood too thin (due to thinners). Gave her medicine to counteract and was put on stand-by for surgery. Wednesday afternoon more blood-work to check; too thick now. Hospital did not confirm her prescribed thinner dosage with her family doc which would have helped them to regulate back to a normal state. Instead, opted for trial and error resulting in her missing the opportunity for Wednesday night surgery.

This afternoon at 4, blood was checked and is now OK. She was cleared for surgery. Only problem - they have no idea when that will be.

She is 92 years old and has had a broken hip for over 48 hours with no indication of when her surgery might be. Although on morphine, she can absolutely still feel the pain. She has not had anything to eat or drink since arriving at hospital.

I don't believe this is the "system" - I believe it is this particular hospital - but can't be sure, as I have never been at that hospital before. I can tell you that my mother broke her hip 4 years ago. Granted, it was a slow night at St. Joe's the night she fell - but she was seen by an emerg doctor within 20 minutes of arriving. And, she had her surgery within 9 hours of breaking her hip.

I'm very upset.

This is so sad Argo... hopefully they will step up now and give her the care that she needs....

Good Morning Qbees. Hope everyone has a great Friday. Glad to see the snow coming down, even if it's just a dusting.

I had the pleasure of attending the John Lennon Tribute at Sound Academy last night. What a wonderful show. A lot of top local and international talent got on stage and played some of the greatest music ever written. Murray McLauclan, Frank Soda, Billy Newton Davis, Erik Schenkman, Paul James, The Carpet Frogs. All hosted by ex-Much Music VJ Mike Williams. The crowd was small but the music was incredible. Those musicians played their hearts out and did justice to Lennon's musical legacy. Apparently this was the first time they had done this and next year they said they are going to start planning a lot earlier. If you didn't get down to see the show, I would suggest you mark your calendars for next year because it's was a great event.
