I had a fight with the doctor lady. I came there, no nurse was around. I was there for 1 hour, nobody attended you. You got fits in every 5 minutes. Usually every time you got fits, nurse will pump in a med into the machine. So I went through your papers not to get busy body but just automatically I read through. A nurse said Im not allowed to read. I said nobody updates me since yesterday, I want to know what is happening. The nurse asked me who I am, I said Im your wife.
Then the Indian doctor lady came said "My nurse told me something that made me upset, that we do not update you on your husband's condition. I explained it to you yesterday." I said yes, you did. I want to know what's happening today. Then she snapped at me, raised her voice said they cannot update me everyday since I am not there at night. I told her I am at the hospital every day from 11am to 10pm. I have a right to know what's going on since Im your wife and they have a full responsibility to explain when necessary and dont you think when a wife wants to know about her husband's condition is considered NECESSARY?!
I just want to know how my husband is and if there is no improvement even a little then say so. No need to raise her voice. She said they reduce your seizure medicines because your fits still dont stop, you are still a walking time bomb, slowly they will reduce all of your medicines and see if your brain and organ can cope up but that is not now, maybe 2 or 3 weeks from now.
I told her, that's it. That's all I know so she doesnt have to raise her voice!
