HAHAHAHAHA!

Man, I can’t even imagine how pissed off I would have been. What a joke that they had to send in security.

A-holes.

I’m really sorry you had to go through all of that foolishness (which is exactly what it is…foolishness).

Hope you’re back at 100% soon.

Something tells me that the nurse supervisor is going to wish she wasn’t so pigheaded.

So glad you are feeling better and the worst is behind you

Good call on not getting your wisdom teeth out (unless of course you absolutely, positively have to.)

I’m thinking puking all over the place really wouldn’t have helped lol I think my reaction was to scream and cry more instead of puke tho…know what I mean? Kinda like WTF? Why is my mouth full of blood.

In regards to Kathy, no she was not allowed to spend the nite. It really was a fucked up situation. I mean I know you don’t know Kathy at all but let’s see she’s about 5’1″ and quiet as a mouse. Doesn’t raise her voice, wouldn’t hurt a fly. And in this situation we were in, she was actually very calm and NOT being difficult not yelling, not screaming, just calm.

The nursing asst. actually told Kathy that she had to get the nurse supervisor to put it in writing that she could spend the nite. Kathy said great, can you please get the supervisor for me. Logical enough, right?

Wellllll Ms. Nurse Supervisor, GINA, never came into the room, instead she waited in the hallway and sent in are you ready for this? 2 really big manly security guards. Mhm.

So Mr. 6′ tall tough guy security guard comes into my room to tell my “oh so threatening 5’1″ partner” that “You have to leave the room NOW ma’am.”

Mind you, I am not making this shit up. Kathy and I just looked at each other like “huh?” Why the fuck is security here? So Kathy very politely says “Well I’m not leaving until I speak to the nurse supervisor. I thought they were going to get her?”

So now the nurse supervisor comes in with a major attitude and I gotta tell ya, the Philly girl in me was trying to come out soooo bad but I was just too drugged up, of course.

They were all making a big deal about it because I had a room mate but my room mate leaned over several times and told them “I don’t mind if she stays. It’s ok. There is no problem with me.” (She was a really sweet 28 yr. old woman.)

But for some reason the Tuesday nite nurse, nursing assistant, nursing supervisor and security had issues. Mind you, Kathy is a registered nurse and has worked in hospitals (and knows the rules, policies and exceptions that they generally make) but she didn’t really get into all of that.

It really was very unbelievable. If I wasn’t there myself I might have found it hard to believe.

Ready for something funny tho? Shortly after leaving my room…Mr. Tough Guy security guard must have had an accident cuz we watched them wheel him down the hallway in a wheelchair. Kathy and I just looked at each other and said “Karma.” I said “you know if I had any strength I’d go over and look down the hallway at him and say “that’s called Karma motherfucker.” But I didn’t have the energy.

So now that I’m all better the real “hell raising” will begin. Kathy and I, actually, have many friends that are nurses or have been nurses or have been staff pretty high up in hospitals and such. Of course they all heard the story and have instructed us what to do in regards to who to contact at the hospital, etc. We’re obviously not going to change the world in a day, but shit needs to happen that’s for sure.

Plus, me personally, I’m pretty damn good with a press release

Thank God that a-hole didn’t operate on you and you got the nice guy instead. Even though it was a horrible, horrible, experience, at least you didn’t have to have that jerk-off touching you.

And I’m also really sorry that you had to deal with Kathy not being able to stay with you. I guess those are things that us straight folks don’t ever think about, but after reading your story, it makes me really pissed. I would have raised hell, too, like I’m sure you guys did. You didn’t say what happened, though- did she get to stay with you? I’m guessing yes.

I’m really glad you’re finally feeling better, and want you to know I just decided I’m NEVER EVER getting my wisdom teeth out.
