wife admitted to hospital
Thank you all for your caring thoughts. It means a lot to me knowing that you are all here supporting me in this. It is very tough. I have high hopes for the ECT as it is kind of the last line for her. I shudder to think what happens if it fails.
To make matters worse I am now fighting the admitting physician who wont do ECT's and her P-Doc who is not an associate of the hospital that is completely livid that the admitting doc wont even call him. Her P-Doc has called a friend that is a physician at that hospital to take over the case so we have some battles of doctors going on. What a fuck head people with God complexes can be. The frickin idiot prescribed Wellbrutin and has her taking that over the weekend... like that will be the magical cure. What a fucking idiot. He obviously has no clue what bi-polar depression is.
The good thing is that I am fairly confident that it will all be straightened out on Monday as we can force the other doctor out and the doctor in regardless of what he thinks. After all I have all legal authority in her case and if I have to go to court to save my wife I bloody well will. The tough part is once you are in a psych ward you can not get a patient moved without an act of God so you can really only change up doctors.
Some of you have commented on my Avatar. I chose that avatar specifically because I think it speaks about me and my beliefs the most. I am a family man first and foremost and when i married it was for better or worse. I will protect my family no matter what the cost to me and she is going to get the care she needs. I am not going to let some dumb ass quack stand in the way!
