It is easy to feel like a small cog in a large wheel. It sounds like you have a great team there looking after you. I hope that you are feeling better soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029203557803972231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-28637444290726543572012-11-19T14:14:23.321+11:002012-11-19T14:14:23.321+11:00When I was a small child I nearly died of complica...When I was a small child I nearly died of complications from appendicitis. What started as a relatively common illness became life threatening due to negligent behavior on the part of a number of health professionals. My parents started out compliant and ended up with my Dad standing in the middle of the hospital yelling at people until a specialist was brought (who was horrified at my state and ordered the life saving antibiotics and new non-faulty drip). <br /><br />From that experience my parents learned and then taught us that you have to be a major participant in your health treatment. Educate yourself so you can have educated conversations. If you don't like something, find alternatives. Work with the health care professionals, don't just let stuff happen to you.<br /><br />Much as I would have preferred not to have had it happen to me as it has had long lasting heath effects, it has made me pro-active about my health and for that I'm very grateful.Lisa @ Blithe Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044161376528094256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-82061852465593837492012-11-19T14:13:05.939+11:002012-11-19T14:13:05.939+11:00Have just read back over your posts Carly, so sorr...Have just read back over your posts Carly, so sorry to hear you're in hospital but am pleased you're resting and getting well looked after. I loved reading this post. In my experience, our health professionals are very keen to take the lead from us as parents of our girls and I'm so grateful that we live in this age and a country where this is becoming more and more the norm. Thank goodness your team is the same. Please God can you be out of there for Bob Evans on Friday! Keep well xxkellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280632930386464253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-87101592665088204512012-11-19T13:22:46.061+11:002012-11-19T13:22:46.061+11:00yep.

Sufferers, I am assuming, may be awake at strange times in Melbourne... but not so strange in other corners of the world.namehttp://realcashflowadvice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-17327402516051403292012-11-19T12:10:36.301+11:002012-11-19T12:10:36.301+11:00Thanks for writing this piece Carly.
