[QUAD-L] Hospitals

Again, I stress that it is your responsibility to notify your doctor of your needs and special needs and that your doctor writes those needs into his orders for you.  Records, are what saves doctors during the litigation process.  Records, are also what hangs doctors, when huge sums of money is involved in a lawsuit. Get those orders in writing.  Just ask LindaF and RN Stuben...... W     In a message dated 10/4/2006 9:50:42 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: All TOO familiar! And it seems to be getting worse. The last time I was in our local hospital the 'special' call button they gave me fell on the floor ten minutes after they installed it and nobody knew how to fix it. I wasn't moved off my back for twenty hours. Nor was I fed or given anything to drink. Thank God I was only there for a day! Dan V
