Jason, FIRST, call that physician at Akron. You will be speaking with his office....speak with his nurse....he has a nurse that works with him.....tell his nurse you need to move your mother, you have been told she has a clot in her brain, and they are not doing anything for her where she is....tell her everything that has gone on....explane what is happening where you are and tell them you are concerned your mother is going to die if she is left at the hospital you are in. Tell them you want her moved to Akron so she can get the care she desperately needs. Tell them about no blood work being done...nothing being done over the weekend, and these people will not move her willingly. Tell her they have done NOTHING over the weekend and can they PLEASE accept her as an emergent transfer at Akron General under his care. Ask him what YOU can do to get your mother moved, give him the attending doctors name taking care of your momma now. She can be transferred immediately if this other doctor will accept her as a patient. After you talk to the physician at Akron (also be sure you tell him she is having chest pain and nothing is being done, they cant even get an IV or draw blood on her!), he will tell you what to do next. Depending on what he tells you, advises you to do next, (if he accepts her as a transfer, he will talk to your mothers doctor and ask for her history of events) I would tell your mothers attending physician you want the hospital to move your mother via ambulance immediately, to this other dr's care. You tell them Akron is a stroke center and you want you mother to receive the care they can provide her. Tell him you want her moved before something major happens to your mother. Tell your mothers attending dr that you are "concerned with the standard of care she is receiving at this hospital." Use those words...that means she is not getting the care/procedures/treatments she should be getting for the issues she is having. Tell him you have talked to the physician at Akron and (hopefully) he has agreed to accept her as a transfer. Tell him you give him permission to release your mothers medical information to this other doctor. Tell your mothers doctor if your mother needs to have any major invasive procedure, like stenting, or surgery, you are not confident they can do that where you are as they can not even get an IV in place. Tell him you want her moved before she deteriorates more. I am so hopeful this other doctor will be concerned enough about the lack of care your mother has received thus far, and will accept her immediately as a transfer. Keep writing updates Jason.....you are doing fine, sweetie. |
