I hate when this happens: I spend hours at the hobby shop looking for just the right remote-control corgi, and I hurry home with it and take it out of the box, and wouldn’t you know it, I forgot to buy batteries.

That’s okay; I’ll just take him off your hands, then.
There’s a wee bit of side-eye going on here. That pink colour from the inside of corgi ears really needs to be a paint colour.
Yes!
My studio is pretty close to that color. That pup would add so much to my “girl cave” as my husband calls it.
Is that an extra small corgi pup or an extra large remote?
Well, there goes my brain. Again. Only kittens can rival corgi pups for cuteness.
Sweet little stubby wubby legs!
Those legs aren’t even long enough to reach the ground.
You reminded me of a line from the movie Hot Shots (in response to being told she has nice legs):
“I just had them lengthened; now they go all the way up.”
Batteries to do what??? I would just be carrying all the time! Maybe for baroos…….
Love the hovertext!!
I’ve been at the ER all day, Cutetropolis is just what I need. Brother had a seizure again. At first the ER doc was mad, said it was stupid that he and his neurologist didn’t have a better plan for when he feels a seizure coming on. He snapped off his gloves without even looking at Larry, and walked out of the room muttering about calling Dr. Davis. After they checked his anti-seizure meds level in his blood and it came back normal, and he had a seizure, with his oxygen level bottoming out and his face getting a bit blue, the ER doc’s attitude changed a bit. I think he was thinking, “Just another idiot who forgot to take his meds”. They admitted him for observation, at least overnight. Dr Davis wants to try a different medicine to see if it helps.
ER doc’s attitude was unacceptable. I don’t think the way they schedule doctors is conducive to good medical practice, let alone bedside manner. And that may explain it, but it doesn’t excuse it. I hope your brother gets better soon. Good luck to you both for finding the right solution.
At least the EMS were nice to him. He can feel the seizures coming, and he called 911 before it actually happened, the last 2 times were bad, first ones accused him of being drunk, put him in the lobby in a chair, where he had a seizure and fell out of the chair. The second time they accused him of faking, and I guess they told ER staff that, and they checked his med levels and sent him home, where he had a seizure, fell, and broke his leg. When the EMS showed up today, Larry told them he hadn’t wanted to call them, they said they understand that. I explained the reason is because the EMS usually accuse him of not having seizures. They were extra nice to him today. If the doc had stuck around I would have told him he goes to the ER hoping they can stop them before they start, and that he has broken his back, had a compound fracture of his tibia, and a broken fibula from having seizures, so he is scared to have one.
Oh, Patty, I can’t even. I’m glad *these* EMTs were decent to you and your brother.
Patty, I’m so sorry about all this. What a horrible situation for your brother, who has to suffer so much, and for you, who has to watch.
Patty, I am sorry for your brother’s situation. I work as a hospital chaplain, and I have some thoughts on this. One, the EMS could have been reported. They are not in a position to diagnose, just triage and bring to the ER. (You could attempt to subjugate the cost of his broken leg back to the hospital just to give them something to think about.) Also, the hospital should send you a survey (every one does this now) where you can tell them of their treatment of your brother. Additionally, they have quality and risk assessment people to tell. The Doctor needed to keep his opinions to himself until the tests were back. Who ever was directing the docs there should hear about this (Medical Dir of the ER). His behavior was appalling. He took an oath and your brother deserved to be treated with dignity. You can tell the state medical board as well. Also, call a Chaplain, they can often hear you in your frustration and act as a go between in tense situations.
Finally, if you live in a city with another hospital, you may want to go there.
Jeannine, I’m so glad you posted this! Your suggestions are excellent. (I had some similar ideas, but hadn’t been able to organize and articulate them. My experience was taking care of a relative with dementia, 20 years ago).
Patty, I hope the situation improves soon. I think that working with them when it’s not the middle of an active emergency may help. You and your brother deserve MUCH better care. Thinking of you both.
It’s more than scheduling, it’s in the field to not trust the patient and build right into their education (I’m in Medical Education, working to educate against this very thing). It’s sad and scary, because medical bias leads to sooo many deaths a year. I second what others said about reporting them and seeing if there is another hospital you can go to when this arises. The other question/suggestion is if your brother is therapy dog eligible – as there are some animals really good at sensing when a seizure is coming and lead people to safe, soft places.
I hope your brother’s doctor find the right medication for him and maybe he should have a talk with his collegue about his attitude.
Bless you, Patty – you certainly don’t need that. And your poor brother! I hope his issues can be resolved and soon.
I’m glad we could be here for you after what you went through. The behavior of the medical professionals was appalling.
Hey Patty – I think that ER doc’s attitude sucks. It’s not fair to assume things about any patient. Sorry you and your brother had to go through that.
If the corgi tried to stand up would her head smack down on the floor like a teeter-totter with only one kid on it?
