My mom's doc didn't know her discharge earlier this week had been delayed due to problems getting a medical device delivered to us and she sat in her hospital bed for two days not getting proper care, getting sick again, being sent home ill. She wasn't given a full course of antibiotics, just a couple of days worth. Everything was stopped too soon and they didn't bother running a final urinalysis before she came home to make sure the infection was actually gone. In her discharge papers they actually removed the UTI diagnosis and listed it as dehydration. I hate this hospital. The administrators are always playing games like this. What's worse is they have a big sign there touting being nationally recognized for infection control. Their sign should actually say 'We're recognized for tossing out the Medicare patients too soon in favor of patients with private insurance'.
