The physical therapist likes tomatoes.
She walked her 230 feet and she wasn't tired afterwards.
Just now a professor and two med students were in here listening to her heart and freaked me out because they were then asked to describe to the professor what they heard, and they were talking about diastolic murmurs and all kinds of big words that could be the cause of it.
Sarah forgot to tell me that the professor had already been in here by herself while I was out getting her a mountain dew, and they actually tricked those two students by instructing them to listen in a specific spot and tell the professor what they heard. Turns out that in the spot they were told to listen to, a normal heart will sound like it has a diastolic murmur.
Well it's cool that Sarah got to help a couple of student doctors learn something. I just wish they'd told me too.

It's a good way to teach I guess. Because they hadn't told me anything, I thought two 4-year med students agreeing that there's a heart defect was definitely something new, and they were just going to leave the room without the professor listening to her heart too. I was like wait a minute, we haven't been told anything about a heart murmur until now, and cardiology already checked her out.
Before the professor could say anything the female student got all nervous and started babbling about "we're just students, we probably heard it wrong".
I guess those two students were more embarrassed than I was.
But this way they'll remember that particular thing they just learned about where to put the stethoscope.
It's a teaching hospital.
Because of that, the cafeteria, being located on the 2nd floor of the academic building, is CRAWLING with super smoking hot college chicks around 12:30-1PM. I noticed that today.
Most of them wear scrubs but some of them had tight blue jeans on.

I mean everyone has to start somewhere and learn somehow.
I know residents have already graduated med school, but this is more like hands on OJT.

Residents are practicing doctors I think. When Sarah's blood pressure & body temperature were crashing in the ER it was a resident physician who was barking orders to the nurse. "Start her on (name of IV fluid) and give her x number of milliliters of (name of steroid) and blah blah blah" sort of thing.
Yesterday the endocrinology team, two residents and a full MD, came in and ordered a bunch of blood tests, then came back an hour later with the lab results and told us that her low blood pressure was NOT caused by her adrenal glands or her thyroid.
Cardiology already did some tests and determined there's nothing wrong with her heart. So by process of elimination, it's neurological and in that case it's most likely going to correct itself. If not, she'll simply have one more pill to add to her daily handful of pharmaceuticals.
Neurology will follow up on that later on an outpatient basis.
St Joseph Hospital in Joliet will do the stroke rehab this time. Just physical therapy and stuff.
They require a negative covid test first, and though she's tested negative every time, they need another one and not the rapid test. It's gotta be a PCR test and they need the results by noon today, otherwise Sarah will have to wait until tomorrow for the transfer. It takes 24 hours to get a PCR test done, and they did it at 5pm yesterday.

They transferred her to St Joseph in Joliet today.
Her room is hideous.
My drinking buddy Ron showed up at the house around noon and we rode up there on the motorcycles and got there right as the transfer ambulance arrived from Chicago.
We got there two minutes before she did. The first thing I said was "who the fuck painted this room?"
Then as they were wheeling Sarah in, she said "what the hell were they smoking when they painted this room?"
One wall is like a caramel color, another one is like white people skin color, and another one is like a peach color
But they don't have two of her medications there, so I just hauled ass home to get them. Hopefully I have both. If not I'm going to have to get them to call in a prescription.

What kind of pharmaceutical dept. does this "hospital" have? One would figure a hospital would stock every kind of drug under the sun.

i'll bet it still smelled like a hospital room though.

I caught ANOTHER medication error.
They discontinued klonopin, which is her "rescue" pill only taken after a seizure.
Generic name is clonazepam.
The drug that was prescribed in error was Onfi. Generic name clobazam.
The ER doc put in his notes that klonopin is the one that was prescribed in error. I actually distinctly remember saying clobazam and him saying clonazepam and me correcting him and saying no, clobazam.
This one is not a big deal though, because she's got plenty at home, hasn't needed any since before the stroke, and she's currently in a hospital where they can give it to her if she needs it.
Her neurologist is on vacation in Bulgaria visiting her family. She'll be back on the 16th. I'll just wait and let her fix it.

Should be illegal to give drugs such similar names too. That's ridiculous.I caught ANOTHER medication error.

Since discovering that everything is online, all the notes from every medical professional who saw her at the hospital, even the nurses, I stayed up til 2am last night reading that stuff.
I noticed they refer to every medication by the brand name instead of the generic.

One cool thing about centralizing is that right there. Now, if they'd just read it too.
