Topic	I had to face the very near-reality of my mom dying a couple of months ago.
CrowTRobot 05/18/17 8:54:18 PM #3:	When morning came and they started getting her ready to transfer her, they found her covered in vomit and thought oh, we can't send her like this! They washed her hair before sending her out to the ambulance. When the EMT hooked her up in the ambulance, she says that he started actually screaming and swearing because of what he found. Her blood pressure was incredibly low, unlike the reports that they were given. This was meant to be a standard patient transfer and instead he found himself in an emergency situation where they had to handle it like a gunshot victim and prepare life-support techniques. He screamed to the driver that they needed to hit the road now or she's not going to make it. Now again keep in mind, she wasn't coming in off the street like this. A hospital's ICU allowed her to get to this point and lied to the other hospital that she was stable. It's truly remarkable that this was allowed to happen and that this place calls itself a hospital. Meanwhile, I let work know the situation and that I won't be coming in the next day. My dad calls me at like 7 AM saying that she's been transferred and he comes to pick me up and drive over there. When we get there and I see her... her face told the story of the agony she was in, but her body painted the picture. Her body was just shaking and her skin was so pale. I'm asking why are you shaking like that? The nurse or whoever it was is just like she's in Vtac, so the heart is making her that way. I could tell that something wasn't right though. This was not the healthy condition they said she would be in. This was not how I left her yesterday as she was arguing with the doctor about insurance coverage. She looked like an old hag on her last legs. My grandparents showed up with some aunts and uncles and then the doctor came around. When he had a moment, he took us down the hallway and he told us "I want you to know that you were led to believe she was in much better condition than she really is. We're going to take her up and do what we can, and if we find the problem, there is a chance that she fully recovers from this. However there is also a probability that she does not survive the day." --- Watch out for snakes! <cite>CrowTRobot posted [p:879373633] in I had to f...
