Re: [VFB] Prayers needed for my wife
Chuck, It is absolutely wrong the way Dollar General has treated you. However it would be a very far stretch to say the hand injury caused a blood clot to the lung, and most likely had nothing to do with it. Some point of clarification: Coumadin is an anticoagulant, it inhibits the bloods ability to clot, nothing to do with the blood being thick or thin. It works by blocking the effects of vitamin K, which green leafy veggies have. So it is Vitamin K and not iron as the issue. Just had to put my 2 cents in.. Hope she is doing better..

Her injury could easily have been such that tiny clots were sent from the injury site to her lungs, I'm not lawsuit happy either, but the stores need to fix their problem so that no further injuries to anyone occur.

Chuck, You should never leave the premises that you get injured on without calling a cop and filling out a report. This is legal proof, plus getting any eye-witnesses reports to the officer.

Re: [VFB] Prayers needed for my wife
Don, how sorry I am to hear of your friend's loss. I'd bet that the lady passed away from a deep vein thrombosis which traveled immediately to her heart. Even with a heart exam prior to the anesthetic, which is always done in our facility, just having a break and needing a plate is at high risk for the release of those little tiny clots. Sadly, once they go directly to the heart, death is instant. Nothing anyone can do to prevent that happening, though we try with Plexipulse machines which are like walking socks with every anesthetic. That scenario is one of our worst nightmares and makes us always think twice before anyone is anesthetized. How sad for all concerned.

She had been short of breath for a cpl days, and thought it was her asthma acting up, so she was going to town yesterday and was going to stop off at our GP doc to get her inhaler refilled. But, they told her to go on to the ER if she was short of breath. Got here, and after many tests, they found several blood clots in her right lung. This was a shock to say the least. They think it’s because her job is working from home as a customer support tech and has to sit for 8-12 hours straight, with only 30 minute lunch breaks etc. Anyway, the good news is that they started her on a‘'heparin drip” and it seems to be working they say. Doc says that if all goes well, she can probably go home tomorrow evening provided a test they do to test you blood to see how thin it’s getting. Hers is the standard “base” of a 1, and it has to be a 2 or a 3 in order to go home. Then, I was stuck at home till my daughter could get home and bring me up here, and I’m at home having MAJOR panic attacks causes these things are DEADLY if not caught and treated early. So, I started reading all I could about them, and the good news is that, caught early as they say it was, it’s almost always treatable/curable, she just may have to take blood thinners for the rest of her life. Small price to pay vs the alternative we think. Then, just now, about an hour ago, her IV “blew out” and the IV fluid was going into the muscle and next thing we knew, she had a lump the size of a golf ball where it was located. took two nurses about 30 minutes to find a good vein, but they got it squared away and all is working well again. I must say, that both her docs, and ALL the nurses have been just GREAT (Knock on wood, cause you always seem to have that ONE single “Sarge” nurse, who seems to have anger issues with the world LOL...

Re: [VFB] Prayers needed for my wife
Don: Sorry to hear about that. I’m with Joyce and think your friend died from a blood clot that went to her heart. We JUST got my wife home. Have to follow up with our family doc Tuesday to get another “INR” (test to determine blood thickness/thinness I guess is what it actually is), and from there, she’ll probably be on Coumiden for at least a few months and they told her “NO GREEN LEAFY VEGGIES... PERIOD”. I had never heard that before, but something about the iron or something in green leafy vegetables can cause new clots I guess. They never could determine what caused it, but they kept asking her if she smoked, which she NEVER has. I’ll tell ya what I think. And I’ll also tell ya what I now think of Dollar General stores. Last week or so, she was in a Dollar General store near here, and it’s a tiny store. So tiny, and crowded inside that they don’t have a buggy rack outside. It’s inside the store. Well, they had it turned a little cockeyed, and somebody was trying to push their buggy back in the rack, and almost ran my wife down with the buggy. She smashed her wrist against that buggy rack, and by the time she got home, it was really swollen, really painful and had a small cut. Soon as it happened, she had blood dripping down her hand, and the store manager didn’t even offer to get her a band-aid, or paper towel or anything. Just basically ignored my wife. So, she got home, emailed the home office because there homepage has no phone number. Waited a week, and NO reply from the email. So she called another local store, and they gave her the corporate number and she called then and explained the situation. They said the local district manager would call her and get things straightened out and talk to her about it. He still has NOT called either. So. She has one more phone call to make, and that will be to a lawyer I’m thinking. I took pics just as soon as she got home, and the pics are digitally time/date stamped, so we have those as “proof”. I know one thing. We’ll have to need an item pretty bad before we shop at another Dollar General I can tell ya that. I think that hit caused a blood clot to break loose, cause it was bruised BAD, which means that it WAS bleeding internally. I don’t want to be “sue happy” like this country is getting to be, but enough is enough and to not even get a phone call to check on somebody who was injured in one of your stores is unacceptable. I have a little piddlin Associates Degree in Business Management, and in just that degree program, we learn that that is NOT the proper way to practice business.

Re: [VFB] Prayers needed for my wife
Chuck, I think you are absolutely correct. Her injury could easily have been such that tiny clots were sent from the injury site to her lungs, I'm not lawsuit happy either, but the stores need to fix their problem so that no further injuries to anyone occur. I'd for sure consult with a lawyer. Joyce On Sun, May 26, 2013 at 7:57 PM, Chuck Alexander chuckalexan...@centurylink.net wrote: Don: Sorry to hear about that.
