Morocco World News: In a surprise visit to the regional #Hospital of Driouch, Minister of #Health and Social Protection #KhalidAïtTaleb reprimanded hospital officials and inspected various departments while inquiring about the quality of healthcare services provided to patients.
My partner checked the area and redness has gone down. It is swollen but not as red. No streaking. Took my 12th dose of Keflex (40 doses total is the full course). Basically, the point at which I was going to go to the hospital is if there was no positive change in the direction of healing or it got worse.
To go to the hospital, we are looking for signs of worsening such as :
Increased redness + increased swelling
Red streaks moving outward to new tissue
fever
disorientation
The reason why it's wait and see at home, has to do with the fact that my immune system has been put to sleep from the Prednisone (why healing from infection has been so slow), and so I can catch a plethora of things at the hospital including COVID.
This could be so so so much worse,
KNOCK ON WOOD.
Please still keep me in your thoughts, I'm not out of the hot water quite yet 🥺
Let's hope for reduced swelling by tomorrow morning 🤞
"All pregnant women are in danger’: protests in Poland after expectant mother dies in hospital.
Ombudsman rules that #hospital in #NowyTarg failed to tell #DorotaLalik, 33, that..."
"...her life was in danger and could [have] be[en] saved by an #abortion"
“But not everyone realised that 👉if you’re #pregnant and you go to a #Polish#hospital you might not leave alive👈. That you have to go prepared; you need to 👉have a number to a lawyer and contacts with the media ready,👈 and you have to keep fighting and arguing and not believe a single word anyone says because you might not stay alive."
I see this thing going round with a US hospital bill, charging 40 dlrs to hold a baby.
It's not only in the US. Dutch doctors/hospitals/farmacies find their way with these things as well.
Like when your usual medicin is suddenly of another brand. The farmacie charges you some money for 'explaining how to take the medicin'. While the only thing they did was ask: do you know how to take this medicin (i was already using it for years, nothing changed).
Or this ear specialist. I had several severe issues, my GP had cleaned my ears and sent me to this specialist in hospital. An assistant asked me all kind of questions, a very long list.
Then the doctor himself: i had to sit in the chair, he cleaned my ears very quickly, then wheeled back on his chair to his desk: did not say a word.
So i asked: well, what now? He said: i'm done, you can go. When i told him i have all these issues he became very annoyed, and angrily asked what i wanted from him....
Later i found out, he had charged over 100 euros for the cleaning....
In the US, hospitals are confident enough to print ‘39.95’ on the bill for holding your newborn
They are so sure about their system they don't mind explicitly spelling out that they charge $40 for literally handing over the baby and waiting for a few minutes
Because they don't even consider that absurd anymore
@stux It's near impossible to go to a US #hospital with as lawyer and an accountant by your side 24/7. I was charged 400.00 a day, for 4 days, for "hospitality". Ridiculous.
Happy to announce that I’m back in my hotel after a bout of #Decompression#Sickness (#DCS) AKA the #Bends at the weekend. We think it was the culmination of six consecutive dives over three days between 38m and 41m on the MV #Zenobia in #Larnaca in #Cyprus. Was transferred to the #hyperbaric#chamber in #Paphos General #Hospital for three chamber sessions and two nights stay. Sincere #gratitude to all the hospital and chamber staff who made me welcome and took care of me.

Still alive, friends 🌻 Slept well, for hospital! Sitting in CHAIR looking out window at beautiful day. Waiting for morning meds (more diuretics yay, more antibiotics ugh) and cream of wheat. I’ve unpacked my kindle. I think I might feel well enough to read for a little bit. #hospital
Digital Diabetes System Shown to Cut Health Care Use

Remember when I wrote how the hospital I took my mom to on Weds allowed people to enter the ER maskless?
She and I were both masked up. Then they took her vitals and her temperature by mouth and removed her mask to do that. She was in a hallway on a gurney beside lots of other sick and injured people on gurneys.
The #hospital irresponsibly allowed some maskless person to give my my mom, who was just diagnosed last week with advanced pancreatic #cancer, #COVID!
