Emergency Room
First off, let me start by saying that the baby is fine. I just hit my head.
Okay I didn't JUST hit my head, I whalloped it really fucking hard. I got naucious, dizzy, dazed and I fell asleep shortly after screaming my head off in pain.
I had, and still have, a good sized lump on the back of my head.
After about 45 minutes and a call to Ruby, I went to the ER. I was finally seen by the doctor at 12:30. I hit my head at 9.
Now. . .first let me say, our medical system is broken. It's fucking smashed, broken and a mess. There are too many people who work in this field that have no care for people in general, and it seriously affects patent care.
I was taken back to the ER from the waiting room at 11:00. I was shown to a bed . . .and that was it. No vitals taken, no how you feeling? Nothing. I was ignored until 12:30 when the doctor came in.
I was very concerned that no one did 'observe me.' I didn't even know my nurse's name. Kinda shitty, if you ask me.
The doctor was, hands down, one of the coolest and nicest doctors I have ever met.
He gave me a neurological exam, talked to me for a about 15 minutes and becasue of the history of reccurant loss and that I'm pregnant, he didn't want to expose me to radiation.
Sound idea.
He was also concerned that I was seeing a midwife. Not becasue of the manner of care a midwife could provide, he felt that with the history of recurrant loss I should be more closely observed.
In all honesty I have been thinking that as well. Yesterday at the midwifery appointment, I didn't hear the heart beat. While I am told it's normal not to be able to hear it, for someone with my history, it's concerning.
I called my GOP and told them I needed to be seen on Thursday. So I will be. I have an appointment at 2:15.
I will no doubt be asking the gp if he feels I would be high risk and his reasons behind that as well as how long this fucking headache and dizzyness will keep going.
