The Unexpected Road from Bedrest to Emergency Room
Send us a text I recently experienced another bout of pneumonia that led to an unexpected five-day hospital stay after a mobile urgent care visit went sideways. What should have been a simple antibiotic prescription turned into a medical drama when a nurse suggested I might have a blood clot, leading to miscommunication and an ambulance ride. • High risk for pneumonia due to cerebral palsy, weakened lungs, and being temporarily bed-bound • Called mobile urgent care when my doctor was unresponsive and previous endocrinologist was unhelpful • Mobile nurse from Texas (via video chat) escalated situation by suggesting blood clots • Miscommunication led to signing medical refusal forms and calling an ambulance • Spent Tuesday through Saturday in the hospital on antibiotics, thankfully avoiding C. diff complications • Still recovering and exhausted, with compromised voice • Exciting secret project reveal coming in next week's episode Tune in next week when I'll finally share the secret project I've been working on behind the scenes!
