We waited 9 hours in the ER waiting room. Mike was coughing violently with reoccurring pneumonia struggling to breathe. After admitting him, they Foley catheterized him though he didn't need it. Being a Saturday, the A-team wasn't there. Not sure which alphabet we got. Seeing Mike lives in a wheelchair & 71-years-old, to cath him meant to negotiate a swollen prostate, which mitigated more problems. So they blasted through it, causing blood clots and a bright red Foley bag. On top of all of this, they tried to remove the catheter, which caused a Carrie-like scene drenching his bed in blood. But that wasn't all. They tried putting it back only to come short of getting it in the bladder before inflating the tiny balloon meant to keep it in. Thus they perforated his urethra, which reenacted another blood-fountain event. Poor guy. We have extra Halloween blood for sale. Did you know that the medical profession is the 3rd leading cause of mortality in the USA?
