Hey now,
Wow, Saturday already, man, time flies and creeps along unbelievably slowly when the shitstorm hits. My wife of almost 30 years suffered a basilar stroke Monday night. Just sitting in the living room watching the GBBO and boom! Because she sometimes gets a white out from a bit too much I mentioned it to the EMT. What a f’n mistake that was, they treated her like a drug addict, gave her narcan, missed the blood clot in her brain, and just generally treated her like shit. Finally after a consultation with the neurologist, where he said how did the radiologist miss it ( the blood clot), they made arrangements and lifeflighted her to a bigger hospital. They operated to remove some of the clot and doing that saved her life. A basilar stroke affects the autonomic nervous system. Stopping blood flow to that area is fatal. So much so that the mortality rate is 85%!!! I am going to seek an attorney about the mistreatment she received at the local hospital. Such bull crap.

She is recovering so far. Not out of the woods yet but getting stronger every day. Now we have to choose a rehabilitation hospital and make the appropriate changes to the house. All the stuff that goes along with stroke recovery.
Peace,

I slept so hard last night.

I have a chihuahua / rat terrier mix, and I went inside the house from my office last night around midnight to go to bed, and she is always alert. Well that dog was dead to the world passed out in her crate. I guess some of that rubbed off on me, because I slept a rock solid 8 hours and I'm feeling awesome today.

The one thing I gotta get done today is get up on my roof and block my roof vents off before it gets too awful cold. That helps keep the wind from whipping through there and making my house even colder.

Yeah, I've learned my lesson. I don't mention anything to my doctors about any drugs or alcohol.

I got a new doctor last year, and in the first visit he asked me about alcohol use and I told him that I have really reduced my consumption, I am down to a few beers a week, I used to drink a lot more. Motherfucker put in my medical records that I'm an alcoholic. Or rather he wrote "Ethanol addict".

Boy - times have changed. I remember one time telling the doctor I had a one-case-a-week beer habit. The doc didn't bat an eye - it must be common in the military. Anyway, it was completely medicinal and once I worked through my personal issues requiring drink, I now only drink occasionally. This whole assumption about alcoholism ignores the medical aspect and the fact that many drinkers are medicating.

I’ve come to realize that most in the medical field are just disgruntled workers that are only trying to find SOMETHING to write down in your chart….so they can move on to the next patient, and eventually lunch, or home.

We give them so much credit because they’re viewed as some of the smartest in our society…..but, the problem with looking up to people in society, is they inherently end up looking DOWN on you…..

So, what they say goes, in their circles.

Meanwhile, they’ve addicted the population to opiates, failed to do the most basic portions of their jobs in key moments, lied about medications….I could go on.

The most egregious thing about the entire situation is the fact that the average worker is working a significant portion of their month just to be able to afford to ACCESS these people…. And when they finally get to see someone, they’re treated like a child, placated, and sent on their way…..while, most of the time, the problems not only persist, but begin to stack up.
