    I agree... they brougth him in on a cancellation... but if there was no room then why bring him in?

    my mom said it was horrible... there were people lining the hallways becuase there were no rooms for them.. and ambulances lined up outside with patients in them because they couldnt bring t hem in.

    it's just... unbelievable

    if htey had to send him home they could have at least given him something to fight infection after SURGERY.

    Wow, this is crazy. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. I hope someone can raise some heck and get something done about this so he doesn't decline again or more.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    thank you for all the thougths and prayers they really mean a lot to us.

    don't get me wrong. I am glad he is home and REALLY resting comfortably as possible... but it was the manner in which it happened AND the lack of notice and preparation.

    I just don't understand how they could overlook antibiotics when he was supposed to stay for 5 days on IV antibiotics.

    thank you.

    these hospitals are in canada.

    I cannot believe for the LIFE of me that they would send someone in HIS condition home wihtout ANY antibiotics. it's just CRAZY to me

    and REALLY? this is all over the stupid H1N1 hysteria. they are hospitalizing ANYONE and everyone with it and kicking out patients that NEED to be there.

    That's our great Canadian health care system in action.

    I pray for your step dad to recover from his illness and the mistreatment.

    I was thinking along the same line as catty1- would your stepdad qualify for visiting nurse services? With the right care, he might be better off to recover at home, away from people with things like viral illnesses and antibiotic-resistant infections. Did they remove the drains before he went home? Some of the newest antibiotics (like Cipro and levofloxacin) are just as effective when taken as a pill as they are when given intravenously.

    Prayers for your stepdad and you! (((HUGS)))
