Apparently 'Vomiting so hard it comes out your nose' is the motivator I needed to spend more hours trying to get my IV antiemetics refilled.

Infusion Pharmacy continues to irk me - you'd think they'd want to keep a patient that brings them thousands of dollars of work each week.

Ah, this brings us to the other handicapped parking paradox: Dad won't let me drive because he thinks I'm too sick. nitter.gq/CarlyRM/status/7633233…

Ah, healthcare, I'd almost forgotten your absurd disconnects: spending my day connecting DC & CA branches of a national pharmacy chain.
Absolutely beautiful. Loved the trip from embarrassment/shame to acceptance & making an invisible illness visible. nitter.gq/bostonheartmom/status/…

You know you're in a small town when the ER doc calls to see they can spend the night bc their @Airbnb decided no dogs allowed a/o tonight.

Thanks for helping me share my reminders of why our work in #HealthIT is so important- the patient. #DischargeDreams nitter.gq/emilpeters/status/7541…

As transport wheels me down she tells us that if I hadn’t been assertive they’d keep me til 11:55pm!!!!! #Throughput #DischargeDreams
I go back to wait for the charge nurse to deaccess my port and deliver my papers. Transport was there on time though! #DischargeDreams

I then discover the holdup’s bc my RN didn’t know how to deaccess a port. So I had to wait 2hrs for charge RN to be free. #DischargeDreams

My RN says she was just looking at my orders and I say “on the screen or in print? Bc I want them in print. Now.” #DischargeDreams

At the RN station I reach over to their dry erase board list of patients and erase my name while saying I’m going. Now. #DischargeDreams
I jump out of bed & stride to the nurses station to the alarming noise of my bed alarm & dad’s chagrin. #DiachargeDreams
