I’m so sorry to hear this. I think about it during the day and try and come up with options. This situation seriously sucks.

Holy good christ almighty!! I can’t wrap my head around what you are going through!! I’m so sorry. The comments people are making about kicking up the biggest stink, screaming at the top of your lungs to get what you believe your son needs, that he is being denied ring true. I’ve heard many people who have survived a healthcare/hospital debacle talk about how making themselves the biggest pain in the ass to doctors was what worked. Know any members of the press who could do a story? or threaten to do a story? Call a newspaper maybe, or get someone to do that for you? From Canada I send you the biggest hug, and will keep you in my thoughts daily. xoxo Sonja

Sister, you poor thing! I’m SO sorry you’re going through this. I can only echo what everyone else has said: take names, get him to a different hospital, and don’t worry about the insurance. Wish I could do something for you…

Call an ambulance and take him Cedars. They have the best docs there! Just do it. Go nuts on everyone, whatever it takes, do it. Get him to Cedars NOW! Don’t leave him in the convalescent hospital. Get all your family to support you on this. Fuck what the insurance company says; that can be dealt with later. Get him to Cedars. Make them make room.
I’m sending prayers and have been all along. Let me know what you need!

You have my number, my love and my strongest sympathies. Although I am 3K miles away, I will do whatever I can to help you – even if it’s just a sympathetic ear to vent towards at 3am. I know you have no choice and I know there is no other way, but stay strong. Max quite possibly needs you more now than he did when he was an infant.

When the dust has settled and you both are on the mend (which WILL happen, because there is no other way for this story to play out), take all of the collateral information that I know you are gathering and do whatever it takes and whatever you need to do to take these inept fuckers down.

I love you so much and am so very, very sorry. Everything good I’ve got that’s worth sending is being sent in your direction.

This is unbelievable! SW, I am so very, very sorry that not only do you have to deal with your son’s health crisis, your own terrible injury but that you have to put up with what is amounting to (from what I’m reading) complete negligence on the part of this hospice. People have given you good advice re. noting names & conversations, getting a lawyer and another doctor involved, going to the media. I can only add that I’m sending you and your family my strength, my positive thoughts & wishes. I’ll also talk to my sisters (a doctor & a hospital administrator) to see what else you should be doing. My heart goes out to you.

Wish I was closer so I could walk into that place screaming for you (and I WOULD) … what a nightmare, and with your hip to top it off. So sorry, Sister.

Down here in the southern hemisphere I don’t think I have any useful practical advice to give, but I am sending you all the love in the world.

I’m wondering whether the threat of publicising this fucking atrocious, criminal level of neglect would force them into caring for him better. Whoever said Name And Shame, I’m inclined to agree.

Wish there was something we could do other than just be fucking desperate on your behalf.
