Story is much too long and would not be able to tell it all, but this are basics: Bit over two years ago very close member of my family was admitted through emergency room at one hospital. Though all members of family knew of her COPD and CHF somewhat for couple of years, it wasn't until more than year and a half and at least 6 hospitalizations afterwards_with intubation included_that some of us really understood how extremely sick she'd been all along, but had never been WARNED by any of ther doctors as to any of the things she must avoid, such as the intake of salt, strenous exercise, long trips, abuse of certain medications, weight gain (or loss), the excess of oxygen intake,the need for extra hydration, etc. And the list could go on.
While this not only was totally unfair to the patient and family_and of course negligent_the worse part was having to suffer through the misdiagnosis of cancer given by not one, but two doctors. Actually 3, since primary doc. confirmed w/out really.
