Hospitals

After researching, it looks like Sherman Hospital in Elgin, is a normal city hospital. It looks like it may have a portion of the hospital strictly for cancer patients.

Im guessing your talking about work related targets??

Quarterly would be every three months - as there is 12 months in a year!

Yes it is normal.

I weighed 12lbs 9oz. I was born at Newport naval hospital in 1981. And I was delivered all natural.

I was born at KENT hospital in 1960 WARWICK R.I @13 LBS 6 OZ, MY BROTHER WAS BORN JUST SHY OF THAT IN 1958 @13 LBS 5 OZ. MY UNCLE TOPS US ALL AT HIS HOME IN 1921 WAS BORN 17 LBS. I THINK THERE HAS TO BE MORE INVESTIGATING HERE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE LARGEST BABY BORN HERE SO WHO IS.

The fees vary tremendously.

A 16hr overnight visit can easily be $100-$1,000. There are a number of factors that can increase the cost. These are a few:

Does the patient need intensive care such as airway management? Is the patient underage? Has the patient suffered any trauma that needs bandage replacements? Is the patient on slow dose medications from an IV? Will the patient be able to eat, will they need food supplied via stomach tube, or even via IV? Food delivered by IV is very expensive per day.

One thing that will also significantly affect the price is the payment method used. Insurance or self-pay. Health insurance will usually require a co-pay fee and that you pay 20-70% of the total bill at a later time. Self-pay discounts vary between hospitals, but often a patient that pays cash/credit will receive a 30-75% discount off the entire bill if they pay in full within 90 days.

Contact the hospital billing department for a fee schedule.

In most cases, it may (and that's a big MAY, as I'll get into below) depend on the elderly person's will or power of attorney. If there is a valid legal document that the elderly person signed while competent and of sound mind that states that he or she does not want to be kept alive by artificial means, the answer is no, it's not murder. What you're describing is the typical practice of hospice care throughout the country. When a patient states as their legal wishes in a power of attorney that they do not wish to be kept alive by artificial means, even if the patient, after some sort of trauma, was originally placed under ICU care with extensive drugs, the removal of all drugs (including a glucose drip) from their system is not considered murder, as those drugs and the drip are considered an artificial means by which they are kept alive. Further, regardless of whether there is a power of attorney document, the health care facility will look to the legal next of kin for decision making purposes, assuming the elderly patient is incapacitated and unable to make decisions on his or her own behalf. If that legal next of kin signs a "do not resucitate" (DNR) order or moves the patient from the ICU, where extensive life saving drugs and a glucose drip are administered, to hospice, where no drugs and no drip are administered, it's perfectly legal, even if the person dies. The health care provider has no way of knowing whether or not anyone even has a power of attorney, which I'll get into more below.

Also keep in mind that even if a power of attorney that states that the patient wants to be kept alive by artificial means is found after the patient's death, if there was no way for the family members to have discovered the document prior to the death, wrongdoing on the part of the family and on the part of the healthcare provider still won't legally be found.

On the other hand, if a power of attorney that states that the patient wants to be kept alive by artificial means is discovered and it is found that the family members knew or should have known, there may be civil or criminal penalties for the family members, depending on the specific circumstances and the law in your jurisdiction. However, the health care provider wouldn't likely be found at fault in this situation, as they were simply following what they thought were the wishes of the patient and/or his or her legal next of kin. Powers of attorney (POA) are documents usually drafted by lawyers and signed by the patient with signatures by the requisite number of witnesses for the state in question. After the POA is signed, the patient takes the original copies and it's up to the patient what to do with it. POAs are not filed with the court as a matter of public record, like court case records or property records. The patient could do anything with the POA once he or she and the witnesses sign it. So, for example, if a patient puts a POA in a safe deposit box that his or her relatives have no access to prior to the patient's death, or hides it behind a wall or something, the family has no way of knowing what the patient's wishes are. What's more, even if the POA is in plain sight in the patient's home, because it's not filed with the court and not a matter of public record, there's no burden on the health care provider to know or should have known what the wishes of the patient are or were.

The only possible exception to this rule would be if the patient provided his or her POA to the health care provider, knowing that the health care provider he or she gave the POA to would be the one he or she went to if a life threatening emergency arose. In that case, if the patient gave the health care provider a copy of a valid POA that stated that he or she wished to be kept alive by artificial means, and the health care provider still put the patient into hospice (again, which is where no life saving aids are administered), civil or criminal penalties may result, but that would still depend on the language of the POA and the law in your jurisdiction.

It might not be a bad idea to talk to your doc about this. One possible explanation is a failure of arterial circulation in the legs. If so, this is usually treatable, which is a good thing because it can potentially be fatal.

At home, see if you can get a femoral pulse and a pedal pulse. If you can, and they're strong, that pretty much rules out arterial deficiency. If you can't, it isn't a certain diagnosis, but it's worth looking into.

Note that this is not a common problem. I only mention it in that it's potentially Danergous on the on the one hand, and an easy fix on the other.

yes, if you can convince the PD that you are a safe pair of hands

Yes. They can have them committed under emergency provisions of the mental health law for a period of observation to determine if they are a threat to themselves or others.

Well, when somebody is in a dire situation, and you seriously don't think the outcome will be good, don't tell them only that. You can explain the situation, and that you will do everything to help. But, offer them hope. Say, that there is a chance, and that with your help, you'll get them on their feet again.

Alot of patients give up hope and stop fighting when they hear bad news. If you offer hope, the more often they will be reassured.

There is a chain of command you can go through when you are not satisfied with the care you are receiving in a hospital. First, ask for the charge nurse and explain your situation. If this person doesn't produce any acceptable results then ask for the manager of the unit you are on. If problem still is not taken care of then you can ask for a patient advocate or nursing supervisor. Also you can talk to your doctor.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born on February 3, 1821.

A person who has been discharged from hospital would leave an empty bed. This bed will need to be made before another patient can occupy it.

Yes Most likely seeing how you will die at 105

Bleach, ammonia, and vinegar are some of the chemicals used for hospital housekeeping. There will be other items used in the disinfecting process to provide antiseptic areas.

If it itches, it might be a bug bite. If it is red or black, it could be a rash. If it is anything else, you might want to see a doctor.
