Thank God your hubby has someone like you...can you imagine running this gauntlet alone as a patient with no one to advocate for you. It just amazes me how complicated simple things can get sometimes and the patient seems to suffer the consequences.
Keep your "Nurse from Hell" hat on...sounds like hubby needs a tough caregiver!
