Nobody Knows WHY Hospitals Close Down On Holidays and Weekends

Nobody Knows: Last week my husband came down with a serious blood clot in his leg. He went into the hospital for one day, and then was released the next, with two huge bruises on his stomach from shots.

He was sent home within 24 hours, with a prescription blood thinners to get rid of the blood clots...and instructions to shot himself in the stomach for 7 days. He has not left one mark.

Okay.

But then, the doctors office INSISTS that he get blood drawn today, a holiday. They faxed the information to the hospital they are in, and told us to show up. We MUST show up.

But of course, the whole hospital was closed. Not a soul anywhere, but a few nurses on the floors upstairs.

We argued with them. It would be closed, but no...they insisted.

Then, our pharmacy called today, and said our prescription was ready. We went to pick it up (Walgreens) and it was...you guessed it...closed.

This is nothing new. I just want to tell everyone, who has not experienced this. Unlike your local malls, your McDonalds, your golf courses...etc...if you have the audacity to get sick on a weekend or a holiday, you're $%$^$. You will not starve, but you might bleed to death.

It wasn't always this way. And it's going to get worse.

There was a time in America, that when you were seriously sick, you would go into the hospital and not be released until you were out of harms way.

The picture explains it all, it's a train wreak if you need desperate help, and all you can do is...pray.

Okay. I'm done complaining.
