Not asking prayers anymore but

[aFarewellToKings]

I seriously doubt that is was due to the lack of an on call Ear-Nose-Throat specialist on the weekend, it was probably more due to the fact Houston Medical center is so short staffed on nurses. They have been hemorrhaging nurses lately; they have been losing money for years and have been cutting benefits and nurses are leaving in droves. This, compounded by the fact that their HR department is staffed by complete imbeciles and incompetent dip****s that are doing their absolute best to run all the good nurses off.
I left there because it was made very clear to me that they (HR and management) neither like nor want male nurses or veterans; they are currently under EEOC investigation because of their attitude and actions.
Don't worry about the ambulance crew, trust me, they are used to it. Since you are on blood thinners I'm guessing that you already have cardiac issues. If you are on warfarin I imagine they gave you some Vitamin K to help bring the bleeding under control.
In the future, go to the Coliseum ER, trust me on that! While every hospital in the area is severely understaffed, the Coliseum is offering big bonuses and better pay to recruit and steal Houston's and Navicent's experienced, but disgruntled nurses.

Thanks for that. We may consider coliseum in the future. Wouldn't have worked this time - I had been bleeding for 30-45 minutes already and my wife REALLY doesn't like that 75-20 traffic. She hasn't driven much in about 4 years; she goes to the GA Cancer Center across the parking lot every month.


And thanks to all the well wishes and prayers. I
should be going home tomorrow (:fingers crossed
