While in the hospital, they brought in a youngish man for stomach pain. He was in the room nest to me. While being visited by his wife, young daughter & son - all hell broke loose.
The staff was running helter skelter & yelling & the kids were crying - the wheeled his bed past my room & I could see that THIS hospital was NOT equipped for whatever was happening. Well, they closed all our doors and later we saw him "removed" in a bed that was also a little canvas tent - I've never seen that before. My nurse came in to check on me & was very upset. She sat down to talk & told me he was her patient and he died. It seems they did NOT know he was an abuser of alcohol when he was admitted or he would have been transferred to Morton Plant - a hospital that deals with alcohol & drugs. He started gushing blood from his mouth & his family started crying & screaming. Well, he died because NO one wanted to tell the doctors that the "probable cause" of his stomach pain was alcohol abuse. I said an awful lot of odd prayers including thanking my HP (GOD) that I was had found the courage to "come out of the closet" years ago about my alcohol use & abuse. If you are still using, please make sure to go to the right hospital in your area for any physical problems & do swallow your pride & tell them you use alcohol and/or drugs.
