I’m starting to hate the medical industry
So, a few weeks ago Evan had pneumonia. As part of the treatment for his cough they prescribed some medicine to be distributed via a nebulizer. The infant nurse wanted us to replace the tubing with every treatment. Another nurse said “i didn’t tell you this, but you can use it for three or four before discarding.” Now, I’m fine with that discrepancy and I understand that its probably due to avoiding bacterial build-up in the tubing.
Here’s where the anger comes. Based on the advice/orders of the nurse, I would assume the tubing should be easy to come by. So, when Evan was feeling better, we discarded all the tubing.
He’s started to have a bad cough similar to what he had when we were prescribed before. The doctor said that if the cough comes back of this type, we can do more treatments, so we planned on doing that tonight. Unfortunately, we have no tubing and NEITHER DOES ANY OF THE FARKING PHARMACIES WE CALLED! What the hell.
Its our fault for not keeping the tubing, but at the same time, we were led to believe we could just go and get some at any time. What the hell would we have done if we had followed the “toss it after every treatment” rule. ARGHGGHGHADASDFH

- @maigrey its more my fault for using leopard before a .2 release.

- @ddribin I’m starting with just fast walking. I peaked at about 3.6 mph last night. Being flat footed makes me scared of running. #

- Okay, for the first time in years, I’m going to try another Linux distro. I’m installing Ubuntu on my desktop. #
- Due to trying to preserve an existing LVM, no GUI install for me. BOO. However, the text install is awesome compared to what I’ve used b4 #
- @ddribin Not that its an issue for you, but it also rocks hard and kid photos. I no longer feel bad about only having one in my wallet. #
