he did not bother to tell US he was at the hospital, no we found out when his work called and mentioned off hand that they knew he was at the hospital.. of course my mom and I were like "WHAT!?" and called the hospital, they kept him over night and only now do we find out that he was at the hospital because everything in him just shut down and he started bleeding out of his mouth and fainting!

they just did 2 CT scans found nothing and released him! really, wouldent you want to like keep an eye on a 19 year old who's sytem suddenly shuts down and blood pours out his mouth? why would you try one thing, say "I dunno" and release them?

I think he needs to go see another doctor somewhere... That don't sound good!

That is so crazy!!!!!!

And, it really makes me nervous!!!! Just a cat scan, ?? No other testing done to find out where the blood was coming from? sinuses, stomach? There was no testing done to find the origin of his bleeding?

What was the follow up procedure given to your brother from this Hospital?

I can't believe they released him in a condition like this!!! He should definitely go to another hospital where they do more tests!

if that were possable I am sure it would happen, but we have a total of 2 hospitals here and they are connected, all the testing and such is done at the General and thats where this was.

I just noticed that you posted from Canada.

Our Health Care here in the States is just as crazy, trust me.

Did you ever find out what the Follow Up Procedures were recommended?

How is your Brother now that he is at home?
