Other - General Health Care - August 2006

Went for esopagogastnotuendoscpy. Tension in room. Confrontation with nurses. Drugged me and were asking me questions which had nothing to do with the procedure. Yelled at them to leave me alone. Had an IV in my right hand. Later she unhooked it so I could get dressed. She told me to hold the short tube, which was hooked to the needle in my hand, and put it through my shirt sleeve. She had a gauze pad and appeared to be pressing something into the tube with the gauze. She hooked the IV back up and let it run for about a minute. If she was only going to run it for a few seconds, she should have just taken it out before I got dressed. I became concerned and called the nursing supervisor. I also told her about how I was treated and the tension in the procedure room. She could not understand why the IV was not taken out before I got dressed. Three weeks later became very ill and I am still sick four months later. Lost most of hearing in one ear. Was I infected with something?

My mum had a stroke recently. She is immobile and dementiative from the hit. She is still on a feeding tube. Only my sis is available to care for her. But she is now pregnant. Nursing home is an idea I have right now. Not coz I like it but there is simply no one to care for my mum. Between getting a full time maid to care for her and a nursing home, I tot a home would be better. A maid would also be more expensive and I am currently financially constrained. But frankly, my heart bleeds thinking of my mum in a home rather than at her own home. And thinking of my dad without a companion who have been wth him for 40+ years makes me inhumane to say the least. Wat should I do?

I never used to get dizzy or have head aches but over the past few weeks I have been getting dizzy even while sitting or laying down. I am also getting head aches very often and may times when I feel dizzy a head ache is not far behind. I have also lost some of my appetite. My digestive system also seems to not be working very well.

Does anyone know if you can have an abscess but there
is no swelling or gumboil around the tooth? I have sporadic
radiating pain that comes and goes but sometimes a mild
throb.this has been going on for maybe 3 weeks.Had an xray
but dentist did not mention anything.Also it appears that
that the side of my face near my left ear it feels sorta puffy.
Will I have to have a tooth pull or does it sound like I may
need a rooting and scaling? will this eventually go away
on its own it has been a week since cleaning... thanks e'one
