    Have you put in a change of address to the hospital yet? Sounds like they're trying to keep you there.

    Tell them your insurance ran out and you'll be on the street in minutes!
    QFT.

    The doctors told my sister during her last hospitalization that she would die in 2 weeks if she didn't have a certain very expensive cardiac procedure. She said OK, as long as you have my cardiologist come to my room and tell me to do it. Her cardiologist had privileges at that hospital, btw.

    They discharged her the next day, with her PT/INR levels at a point where their own procedures required them to keep her. They weren't able to sell an expensive procedure so they had no need of her.

    Baylor. In the Houston med center. I wouldn't send an enemy to that hospital.

    Yes. She got out and went to see her cardiologist. He got the records from the hospital and basically said the need for the procedure wasn't overwhelming and she probably wouldn't have survived the surgery. She'd be in better shape if he could snap his fingers and magically make all the internal changes but that whole process of actually having to cut into her just wasn't worth the risk.

    So these other doctors, were not her doctors?

    Reminds me of our 2nd child being born around 30 years ago in a Plano hospital. They were completely short of staff and this was a nightmare experience compared to our 1st child born there 2 years earlier. After the c-section, the nurse asked if I had a strong stomach cause she was alone and needed help rolling my wife as part of the afterwards cleanup. Nurses never came to her room and we had a hard time seeing our baby since they were short on staff. So I went to the nurses station and told them we're checking out in 1 hour, get everything ready. They said I couldn't without a doctor's approval and my response - how are you going to stop me? They got everything done in an hour and we went home.
