Yes Vicki, get mad..........kick some ass and take names. It's your life, you're the one that has to suffer for their ignorance. I remember when I was in the hospital I had a raging urinary tract infection, which brings alot of pain. My husband had to work that day so my mom stayed with me. Not one soul at that hospital was listening to my mother so I called my husband. I'm a former nurse so I knew that a simple perscription from the inhouse pharmacy would take care of my pain. My husband spent one hour calling, NONSTOP, the nursing desk on my floor. They had the prescription but just would not go get the meds. When they finally figured out that he was not going to let up I had my meds and within a few hours had such relief. The nurse was even begrudginly nice about it, laughed with my mom about how I was the talk of the nursing station and that I had best get good care or my husband would BE there, lol. I've had to have one biopsy since my surgery, it was in October. They told me the results would take 3-5 days. When that 5th day came you can bet I had my results.
We must always remember that our doctors WORK FOR US AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR CARE. I'm thrilled that you got the speech and swallowing taken care of, keep at it until you get EVERYTHING
