Damn man. So sorry. ReallyOh the road that our family went down.…..I am blown away with the logic and the story that the doctors tried to spin. Sadly my wife’s mother passed away this past Thursday afternoon.
My mother in law had real heart/health issues for the majority of her life and it was getting worse as she aged. She was a private person and walked the path that she chose. The last 5 years she lived alone after her husband died and unfortunately had no desire to join our household. I think that we could have lengthen her life by a few years if she was with us when everything went down.
When she could not keep down food or any liquid on the Saturday after Thanksgiving a neighbor/friend took her into emergency. That is where the frustration began. The hospital was not able to place her in a room for most of the day. In the evening they moved her from Kingman to Phoenix.
My wife called the nurses numerous times throughout the three day ordeal. The responses were limited and just skating the surface. It was only the day before she passed that we pushed for a discussion with the doctors. The doctor expresed that all along her health was declining. We questioned if the current path is not gaining results then why not try another path. He response was quite laughable. I brought up other medication like Ivermectin and he said that he would inquire with higher ups. 30 minutes later he called back saying that Ivermectin and other drugs were not FDA approved. He was towing the line like I had expected. The unfortunate reality is that my mother in law was not going to make it out because of her condition to start with.
As I look back at all of this I realize that I need to find a doctor that is NOT going to follow the path of the medical boards or who ever is calling the shots behind the curtain since current doctors really have no interest in what is best for their patients.
Best of luck to those that find themselves or family members in the same situation.
