Longjohn ★ Posted April 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2019 Was about to be discharged and the nurse was taking one last BP reading and the next thing I knew there was a fourteen person trauma team my gathered around my bed and all kind of machines and equipment that wasn’t there before. They were injecting both arms at once. They got my heart rate somewhat stabilized and admitted me. My son is working on getting someone to take care of my wife. More details later. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like if they had let you go, things might have gone very badly for you. Hope whatever it is is ironed out soon and you get to go home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share #44 Posted April 30, 2019 I was a bit disappointed, I had a cute young nurse named Mandy start my IV this morning and she walked out and a murse came in and shaved me. I haven’t had that look since puberty. Not liking clothes has its advantages in the hospital because there is no modesty allowed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
