I recently landed in the hospital. They had no clue as to what was wrong with me. They did a lumbar puncture in the er checking for meningitis. Dont ever let the er are do it. I had 2 doctors pushing around a needle in my spine. Finally they quit. Let me tell you that hurt. They admitted me do to my temperature was 103 and my bp was 94/48. They kept running all kinds of tests. The next morning they took me to radiology for them to try the lumbar thing again. This was kind of neat and a lot less painful. They had some lind of xray machine and they could see where the needle was going. I reccomend not getting one in the er if you ever have to have one. I was in there for 5 days. First 4 in ICCU. My own private bathroom, flat screen tv and my own nurse. They moved me to the next floor. The nurse call button didnt work. The tv was miniature I couldnt even see it. There were too many patients the nurses couldnt keep up. In the end I had caught a uti infection, causing more infections in my body and my immune system couldnt fight off the infections. My organs were shutting down. Before I got to leave they informed me that I have diabetes now. Why is it everytime you go to the doctors or the hospital it seems like they seem to give you more bad news?
