So on top of my cat passing away some days ago, my godfather passed away, and then my mother, being a 63 year old 5 foot lady, fell on some concrete, hit her head, dislocated her shoulder and fractured her upper arm.

I could've lost my mom man, I found her this way at her house. Luckily she was only like this for about 5-10 minutes.

She was in the hospital screaming in pain for 6 hours. Luckily theres no head trauma. But shes essentially crippled for the next month or so. It hurts her to walk, her arm is currently strapped to her body and she won't see a specialist til later this week. I had her move in with me for the time being. Its interesting, I've been thinking about asking her to move in for some time, I think its silly two family members are in two different places in the same town. Sure I'm enjoying my bachelorhood lately, but hey, I'd be the house owner.

but anyways, its been a rough week man

A lot of people are atheists here, but I don't know how they can be when it's obvious that somebody up there is taking a big fat dump on your head right now.

Hope your mother gets some relief soon.

Not "God exists cause he hates these people that much " lol

Does it matter if God exists?

We'll never know. The only thing that makes God real or a fallacy, is our mortal mind's inability to comprehend exactly what a God could be. Keep an open mind, know that you could be wrong or right, and stop playing God by claiming whether there is a God or not.

The beauty of the unknown is more to behold than the beauty of a forced "reality."

Sorry man! Prayers. Why was your mother screaming for 6 hours? Did no one think to control her pain at the hospital for 6 whole hours?

Furthermore, if she was actually screaming in pain for 6 hours without any relief you could have a malpractice suit on your hands

they put her arm in a sling in the ambulance
they did keep coming in to check on her, they did give her an injection, but they didn't do anything about the actual dislocation til yea, the end of those hours.

the hospital was apparently full at the time and everyone was running thin. They had to get the doctors and nurses that knew how to do it together and thats what kept them so long

Well that's the difference. Did it take them 6 hours to fix her shoulder or was she legitimately screaming in pain for 6 hours?

If they managed her pain while trying to find a specialist to fix her, that's very different from letting her scream for 6 hours. Sometimes it does take time for a surgical team to get called in.

I mean, nothing I said is wrong

she was screaming the whole time. Nothing they did worked until they put her arm back and strapped it to her body

Then you have a case. If someone is screaming for 6 hours without any pain management whatsoever that is malpractice

Someone who is literally screaming for 6 hours and no one does anything to either calm her or temporarily relieve her pain is a huge misstep in medicine. It can take that long sometimes to fix someone's problem, but if she is legitimately sitting there screaming for 6 entire hours...that is malpractice.

I've worked in the ER before. I cannot imagine a patient screaming for 6 hours without any sedation or pain control. If your mother was legitimately screaming for 6 hours that is such a failure on the health care system

There were people in the waiting room getting all pissy, like "I"MMA REPORT YALL FOR NOT HELPING US" and "CAN"T YALL GO ANY FASTER?" and shit while their friend/family member was in pain.

I was trying REALLY hard not to be "That guy"

but I did call the nurse every once in awhile while my mom said the pain was getting worse and worse

I accidentally said "Pills" earlier

they did give her an injection and a nurse did come in everytime I called

but the injections did nothing to help her at all. She was begging for something to knock her out but they can't just casually do something like that

I sat by her side for those hours and it felt like an eternity. She wasn't meant for this kind of pain. I wish I could've taken it from her and withstood it for her.

So thats about everything that happened to her.

They finally gave her something much stronger, but only right before they popped her arm back in. She blacked out. She didn't even remember it happening.

My mom is being very stubborn, she tried doing dishes with her only good arm.
Only good arm is barely even good because it's hurt too.

We finally took her to the doctor and I was expecting her to get a cast or something. But she ended up just getting a sling. The guy even removed the brace from her body. Because it's much more loose, it's causing my mom a lot more discomfort and pain. But doctor's orders I guess. She's actually going to start physical therapy next week. So we are much more far along than I thought.
