So, my younger son is in the hospital - he has had vomiting/diarrhea since
Sunday and the doctor thinks its some kind  of virus...but...

Sometimes I wonder how anyone makes it out of a hospital alive.  My wife is
a nurse, and we have had big issues with poor patient care before (she
almost died..twice), so she is like a hawk whenever any of us gets sick.

This morning, my son started to get nauseous again so my wife asked for
fenegrin, an anti-emetic medicine, which was ordered for when he got
nauseous.  It took about 30 minutes for him to get it because the nurse did
not know how to administer the medicine.  If my wife was not there to talk
her through it, who knows how long it would have taken.

Sadly, I hear stories like this, and worse - like Deny's recent issues -
far too often.  We have an advantage since we both have medical backgrounds,
but I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't know what is (or is not) happening
when they go to the hospital.
