Update, and educational video on trans issues...
I just wanted to make a quick post about my wife's condition, on Sunday they released her with out really any reason for her thyroid blowing back up the way that it did, and 3 different docs came in and out of the room for maybe 3 seconds, didn't give their name, and didn't tell us anything that was going on...other than "Your Brandie right? Good, ok I'll be right back." And never did return until we heard that she was being discharged, WITHOUT getting the ultrasound of her thyroid just to make sure everything was ok there.
I threatened to sue if someone didn't talk with us and tell us what the hell was going on and not answering any of our questions. As soon as the word SUE was heard, the doc who said she was going to be discharged, had her do the ultra sound, sat down...but STILL didn't really give any answers...and implied that the real reason why she was in there was because she was on an anti-depressant and couldn't accept her thyroid condition.
Turns out that that doc actually doesn't like Brandie's endocrinologist and doesn't agree with some of his work. That sucks, but that should impeed on patiant care. On top of all of that crap,it took about 7 hours for her to actually get her discharge papers, and meds that they were sending her home with... she got passed up on 2 meals while she was in the hospital...(she was admitted thursday night the 21st of Feb. I brought her in at 5:30pmish and wasn't given her room till almost mid-night) So she got breakfast, lunch she got passed up, got dinner cause I bitched to some one about it...and the next day I think she got passed up for breakfast...it sucked ass.
The fact of the matter is, Brandie is at home...though not totally feeling better, she is how ever in better spirits and her breathing is improving. Thanks to all the grat nurses and nurses aids at Good Samaritan on the Cardiac floor in Portland OR. Keep her in your prays will ya?
Ok, so like I posted on my Trans support site, this is a video that I hope will help educate as well as understand how people who are transgender,transsexual, bi, gay what ever are. Please also understand that this is a comidic view kind of on the issue.
