So, Sunday, Mr father was discharged. They say he has epilepsy. They didn’t observe any of his attacks, they didn’t do any ECG or brain scan to figure out WHY, but they are sure that his episodes of not breathing, losing consciousness and coming close to death, are caused by epilepsy.
My sister took his prescription that the hospital sent with him to the local (tornado) clinic. They refused to give her the medication, saying the hospital should have given him the first dose. But the family friend who fetched him from hospital was told they don’t dispense medication, that she must get it at the clinic! So now that, my poor dad must go be seen by the clinic doctor physically, then they will give him the meds. Poor old man. And what a system! It’s a hospital discharge form! Surely that’s enough evidence that a doctor HAS seen him. Especially given there’s a doctor’s name and signature on it!

I ordered a cane yesterday.
They said I should write a book
