Get a File at the Hospital

Posted by Keegan JohnsonMay 27, 2010 at 3:33pm1 Comment

After speaking to nurse after nurse and doctor after doctor in the emergency room – answering all the same questions, “No, she is not vomiting.  No, she does not present a fever.  No, she does not have any pain there…” We now have a file at the hospital so that if we need to go to the emergency room to be seen by a doctor all we have to do is go to the front desk, have them pull up our file, which sends us right up to the pediatrics floor to be seen by a pediatric doctor (they all know us now).  No more waiting in line in emerg – answering questions that don’t apply.

    I was wondering how you went about getting this file? The times we have had to go to the ER, it has been interesting to say the least. The doctors never quite seem to understand that I probably do know more about PWS than they do. It gets quite frustrating.

    Thanks
    Trisha
