Well, I tried to post before and it didn't go through so here we go. I was upset about the fact that I waited 45 minutes past my proceedure time before the nurses bothered to tell me there was a problem. When they did come in there was no real time that they could give me for the ECT to take place. What they said was that it could be an hour or so. The friend that was with me had to go to work so we had to go. The problem is that at this hospital they don't schedule their ECTs like they do their other proceedures. It is basically catch-as-catch-can with the anesthesiologists and I don't want to be ANYONES
cigarette break. I had an anesthesiologist come in late and give me the drugs once. The big problem with that was that he didn't do it correctly and it left me UNANLE TO BREATHE for what seemed like an ETERNITY. All the docs. in the room were aware of what happened because I was extremely leery aboout having another done and my pdoc. apologized and said it wouldn't happen again. I go into each ECT very nervous. They take a lot out of me psychologically and most of the time I am feeling extremely depressed and glitches just set me back. I guess the situation was just hard for everyone.
I'm not looking for anyone to pitty me but I am asking anyone answering this post to at LEAST be civil. I can't handle any cynical or snotty "advice".
Thanks all,
~Amy
