don't get me wrong, the hospital has been great to my dad and they've been doing their damn best to try and figure out how to treat everything that's been happening with him. he's a complicated, frustrating, one step forward three steps back case.

but sometimes i genuinely question the logic and sanity of the ICU team for not realizing that with him it's always been delirium worse = fever spike = something is wrong. "oh no he's just tired. hospitalization can do that to some patients." sure, and yeah that's part of it. but also because he has pneumonia. again. for the thousandth time in 2 months. "yep, he's got another bout of pneumonia" nooooo shit... he fully thought he was sitting in the bed of a truck and not a hospital bed. and not his nurse, not us, not the guy who did a blood draw could convince him otherwise.

#why unhook the machine taking his vitals?#why take out his picc line?#why take away the supervision so you can see that he's HALLUCINATING PPL AND THINGS THAT ARENT THERE???#ffs #they dont want him to yoyo between a floor room and ICU but holy shit we're already DOING that #are we going for the trifecta?? gotta collect all the phone cards for each of the ICU wings???#ignore this #IM TIRED!!!!!!#also dont even get me started on the HUGE mistake they made #that had the transplant team calling them out and chastising them
