[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1146370, member: 211362"] Well I had 2 ER visits this weekend just gone. Of course my sugar level was quite high the first visit because I had a migraine. It stayed over 11 even though I hadn't eaten for hours. The 2nd visit wasn't so bad with sugar, but my BP was ridiculous. They had problems getting it down. Now with all this they told me both visits they will be sending test results and paperwork to my doc.... all done electronically of course and they don't hand you paper in hand these days. Well I was unwell all this week. My migraine did go and I started feeling better from that. But I was having urinary problems more than usual and I've had headache after headache and palpitations all week. I saw my GP on Monday and he discussed about how I need to rest a couple of days which I did. At that point he hadn't received any paperwork from the hospital so I thought fair go I will wait and see if they send it. By Thursday I'd heard nothing and so I phoned the doc surgery and they still had nothing. I then phoned the hospital who told me my paperwork has been filed already. I asked them to send it to my doc which there were supposed to do. They said they've fax it yesterday. This morning, still no paperwork from them. So my doc surgery said leave it to them to follow up. I get a call after lunch today saying I have to come in to see my doc today. I get there and get told I have another infection. I've been placed on cephalexin again. It makes me shudder to think how many people this happens to and perhaps with health conditions more serious than me. So the hospital thought it was a smart idea to file my test results and doc letters when it showed I needed treatment. ugh. This unfortunately isn't the first time they've done this to me. Does this happen for any of you? [/QUOTE]
