My leukemia's back.

Rachel, not so much being vindicated, but forcing accountability. He can't be allowed to do this to patients.

This !

And again, thank you all.

I'm much clearer today. Slept decently last night, I think that crap is getting out of my system.

I am going to file a complaint. He's a nurse anesthetist, so it will be with the state board of nursing. I'll do that today.

I went for my follow up yesterday afternoon. The eye looks great. Vision was corrected to almost 20/20, so that's nice. I can tell thing are sharper and clearer. I am having some loss of peripheral vision and a glimmering sensation, they say they're related to post op edema and will gradually resolve. Neither one is severe or distressing, just different. So, overall I'm very happy with the procedure. Now I've just got to do all those drops for weeks.....

Oh, I know I swore off incubating until spring. But, I'm pretty sure my cuckoo Marans pullet started laying, and I've got those beautiful blue copper Marans boys not doing a darn thing, and when I butcher two more cockerels I'll have an empty pen.....oh the temptation! Although, thinking it through, by the time I get the cockerels done, and pull the birds to a breeding pen, and give a "purity" time of a few weeks, it will be January probably....that's almost spring, right?

You might also think about filing a complaint with the hospital or clinic with their patient relations or their quality department. It needs to be linked to him so if there were prior complaints or if there are future complaints, the head of the anesthesia department and the facility has a record of it.

Filing with your local BRN is good, but those complaints often do not get back to the facility where the person works.

And yes, January is almost spring in many areas. I had my first hatch last year on Valentine's Day.

Glad your checkup went well!

Good morning everyone!

Rachel, I just had a thought a second ago. Monday I had to go into the hospital for some tests and yesterday received a call from the hospital. They routinely do a phone call, like a survey, to find out how the patient was treated, if there were any problems, questions, etc. Does the place you went to do that? Might be another way of informing them of how you were treated.

Yesterday and today a guy has been here installing new windows in our house. What a treat it is to have windows we can open/close and no more cold wind blowing in around the edges! Just in time too, the temps are supposed to really take a dive next week.

Have a good day everybody!

Good ideas, Friday and NFC. I was very vocal at the time, and at my follow up yesterday. But I know sometimes unless you specifically state "I want to file a complaint", nothing happens. I'll call the facility and follow up. I did fill out the complaint form with the state board of nursing, will look at getting my records to forward to them. I want the records for myself, also.

So, this guy has an independent business as a Nurse Anesthetist. He's contracted with Medical Eye Center (the surgeon's practice), but not really an employee. I guess I'll still call the Eye Center and start with them. Or talk to them when I have to go in and sign the release to get my records.

The post op nurse was so insistent on getting things documented, it really did ping my radar that there may have been issues in the past. Or she just didn't like him, who knows?

I am doing better today. I sat down and wrote this all down....it bring some emotion back. It was hard to write it all down, but I think it did some good. And I did get through writing it and filing the complaint. Couldn't have done that yesterday. This stuff must be working out of my system, thankfully. It will now be on my allergy list at all my providers, forever and ever.

So glad you are feeling better and it's getting out of your system!!

ETA: By the way, this was my 10,000th post. What do you know?

Rachel, as you document the incident, be sure to write down times, and names of the employees you talked to. Were there any witnesses to the conversation you had with the NA? If so, be sure to get their names included.

A friend died today. She was 103 years old and the past several years have not been optimum so it's hard to grieve. I met her and her husband 55 + years ago when I bred one of my beagles to their field champion male. They quickly became friends and mentors - not only in the sport of beagling but also in life. Her husband died 20 + years ago, but she continued to live at the farm and trained dogs until a fall several years ago which seriously limited her mobility. The strange thing is that I dreamed of her last night. I still don't really feel the loss.

It sounds like your friend had a full life, and a long one. I'm sure she'll be missed.
