Living up to my screen name guys. Throwing down with the "medical" "doctors" who put us in a FUCKING COMMUNAL ROOM where there are about 10 visiting adults wandering in and out. Talked to nurse about moving to private room. They said there isn't a medical need for us to have a private room. Bull. Fucking. Shit. She has no immune system and you think it's ok to leave her in a room with God knows how many people, people I don't know, people who could be carrying all kinds of stuff.
We are currently in a little Rec room with all of our stuff. We've been told repeatedly that we can't sleep in here, so the current plan is to take shifts and sit with her.
These A holes have no idea who they are dealing with. Preemie Mom, coming through.

Any chance a neonatologist could help here? Is this the same hospital were she stayed before?
The one we were at before doesn't have a pediatric neurosurgeon on call after hours. We called her pediatrician and got their answering service. They told us we had to deal with the place she's at now. We called the nicu at the old hospital to see if they could do anything and they were all pretty much horrified at the situation but they can't do anything because she isn't their patient anymore.
They were getting us a doctor to talk to but it's been an hour and a half. At the rate we are going now, her surgery is in 6.5 hours and I'm sure they'll take her back before that.
When we go back to her pediatrician, I'm getting a letter stating that she needs isolation. I will also be informing them that we are never coming back here and we will need to arrange services, should we need them, at the old place.

Geez Mo. I'm so sorry that you're dealing with all this on top of her needing the surgery. I'd be writing a letter to that administration. You're not asking for a private room for vanity for crying out loud.

I know, right? It's not like I'm being a pain for the hell of it. It's 1:30 and I'd really like to sleep.
Just talked to the pediatricians on call. They are going to try to get her a private room. DH realized that our Rec room solution is only working tonight because she's not being monitored. Tomorrow, she will be on a respirator for who knows how long, she will be on heart rate and other monitors. I brought up discharging her and coming back in the morning, as well as moving the surgery to the old place. The other people in our room were having a blowout fight when I went in there to grab our stuff. I don't know how she was supposed to sleep in there.
My mom brought us food and was here when they moved us, so she's here. As many problems as we have, she is very good at being nicely aggressive and not taking any crap.

Mo, What a bunch of dumbshits. Yeah, why would a preemie need a private room, so as not to be surrounded by a cesspool of germs? I wonder if you can return a medical license for a refund, when logic escapes you so utterly.

In a room by ourselves. They are saying we could still end up with someone, no promises.
The killer part is that these were pediatricians. They basically said that she doesn't have an immune problem and there is no reason she can't be with a roommate. Wtaf?! I'm shocked that this hospital maintains whatever license you have to have to be a hospital. I'm going to throw a fit when we talk to her surgeon in 4 hours because this is just asinine.
The best part of this is that the floor we are on, which I was told was a neuro only floor, has GENERAL PED'S on it too. Kids with colds, flu, bronchitis. I don't know where they are in relation to us.
And our nurse hates us. I think she's mad that we got a private room.
motownthrowdown As concerned as our neuro gets about shunt infection, I don't get this from their perspective either. Add in the premie factor and I'm beyond baffled at this so called health care. I wouldn't be back either. Ever.
motownthrowdown so glad you raised the necessary hell to get a private room. FX that the surgery goes well and you don't have to stay in this crap hospital long.
motownthrowdown so sorry that this is all happening. Glad you're letting mama bear come out and sticking up for your girl. And seriously, FUCK your nurse if she's mad at you for getting the room you clearly NEED for your child. She is supposed to advocate for her patient and be on yalls side more than the doctors.... Hope things go well with the surgery.. We can all help you burn the place down once A is out .
motownthrowdown so sorry you're having to deal with the hassle of a crap ass hospital staff on top of everything else. Like others said good for you bring out mama bear. Thinking of you guys.
