Mostly unprintable

Yeah, some approaches to problems are not to be taken by medical professionals in regard to my family members. Let it be known that being three inches shorter and forty pounds lighter has not made my brother any less scary when pissed off.

Anyway, after that mess was cleared up (not without establishing a hell of a lot of "trust you as far as I could throw your car feelings) it's been decided that Mom will stay in the hospital while her meds are re-evaluated and re-adjusted. They say one to two days but neither my brother or myself buy it. Mom is coherent and going along with it though, so what can we do?

I'm thinking it's going to be at least a week given the rate at which people adjust to that category of drugs and mom's slow metabolism. Maybe they can figure out why her leg is still hurting her so much while she's in there... and maybe eventually someone will tell me what the hell happened that her leg is messed up. The family isn't good at this whole "keeping family members that don't live here in the loop" thing unless there's a hospitalization involved.

Sounds like your brother and I share the same distrust of the medical community. XD

I like most of the doctors I've dealt with but man I will NEVER EVER EVER I rpeated EVER trust a hospital shrink again. And social workers? Pfft waste of air and skin XD

Yes, we're of much the same opinion on the shrinks and social workers. And covering physicians that aren't the ones the primary physician's service says is covering on the weekend.
