Elected by Californians.
Who? Californians.
Is there a way to trigger the San Andreas Fault to open enough to send Commiefornia into the Pacific?
Asking for a friend …
I wish. Fervently.
I well remember the events related to this post and how horrified I was and am, concerning this state’s leadership[?] and the depth of the depravity.
Except, I, unfortunately live here. In 2003, my dad was dying and my parents really needed help, which, as a loving daughter and experienced RN, I could provide. My husband agreed and we moved from NE Ohio to So Cal. My dad died at his home 7 months later. During those 7 months, I realized that something was wrong with my Mom and got her evaluated and unfortunately diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.
I made a promise to my father, at his strong request, that I would never put her into a nursing home after his death. My darling husband agreed. My mom lived with us for 7 years. Sometime in her last year of life, she told me the dearest thing. One night, before bed, she said: “I am your big baby now” and we both laughed & laughed. Even though she had lost most of her words, every now and then, she would come out with a zinger and clear as a bell. Her extremely truthful statement on our reality is now a treasured memory.
Ten years ago this month, my husband died very suddenly and unexpectedly. We had just returned home from a scuba diving trip and Dale had come down with a bad cold that got much worse in the next few days, with a high fever. He walked into the local ER and was diagnosed with just a nasty case of pneumonia. The Dr. said that he would put in a central line for IV antibiotics. I said, “good, so you’re going to use ultrasound, right? (So, he could see where he was going, as there are many vessels in the neck), but the Dr. insisted that wasn’t necessary.
I insisted that it was…that it was a major standard of care issue. He ignored me and proceeded to perforate Dale’s carotid artery TWICE (he was aiming for the internal jugular vein) and Dale bled out in front of me. As artery’s pump blood under pressure, blood was everywhere – all over Dale, on the floor, the walls, the ceiling, the physician, and me. It was a horrific nightmare and so needless, especially after requesting the proper ultrasound procedure. Unbelievable incompetence and callous disregard for life. Beyond appalling.
I am so sorry (and angry) that your husband was treated so callously by an obvious quack. God bless you. That arrogant so-called “physician” should burn in hell.
Andrea, TY so much. Your words were very comforting to me. June is always a difficult time for me. I was very lucky to have had such a long and happy marriage. Dale and I got each other on an atomic level. Although we could talk for hours, often did, and had a lot of laughs and fun doing so – much of the time nothing really needed to be explained. I really miss that connection, and him. If Dale had cancer or been suffering, I would have missed him desperately, but I never would have wanted him to suffer and I would have wanted death to take him. And I wouldn’t have been consumed with anger either. But, the medical incompetence was unforgivable.
