Quoting: Meow... 3650237 My little sister,Debbie,is in a coma...has been since Smy sister...aturday night. A wonderful girl...worked hard all her life,never married,no one ever took care of her... She raised 2 girls,both chose health care fields. She never had anyone take care of her...never had anyone else pay the rent or buy food... It was always her,by herself. She is an amazing woman-girl,to me-my sister. Now,she is in a coma at Genesis West in Davenport,Iowa. No one knows what to do,what is wrong,how to save her. I love her so much. Losing Deb would be just like losing my Mom again... I don't know if God makes deals,but,if He does,we have one. Prayers and Hugs for you and Deb... |

I sure hope she recovers, OP. She sounds like a remarkable woman. I hope you'll let us know when she's well.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27352798 United States 12/10/2012 11:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You may want to consider getting her transferred in an ambulance to University of Iowa Hospitial in Iowa City. They are one of the better hospitals in that whole area and not that far from you. If you feel your sister is not getting the high quality of attention and knowledge that she needs in Davenport, MOVE HER. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27352798 Call them, here is their number: 319-356-1616; Toll Free: 800-777-8442. Ask them about the procedure for moving your sister. I lived in S.E. Iowa for 17 years, Davenport is kind of a podunk hospital, not bad but not fabulous either. U of I has a MUCH better reputation. If she's got meningitis, she needs urgent care. I know! I know! I keep saying 'Iowa City' but no one listens!!! Call them in Iowa City, those are the numbers that I looked up for you; ASK them how to proceed. They will explain what you need to do. YOU need to follow through on this, nobody else is going to do it. CALL the U of I Hospital, explain what is happening, tell them you want your sister in their hospital. NOBODY can force anyone to stay in a hospital. You can move her even AGAINST the doctors' recommendation. You might need to get a court order, unless you already have medical power of attorney. That is why you must call the U of I people and at least get more information. Courage. |

WON'T DO AN MRI OR CAT so no one will be held responsible when this sweet girl dies. Hey! Thanks,obutthole! if they wont do the mri that is simply not proper procedure. they have no idea what's going on in the skull to result in a coma, if the routine bloodwork is normal, an mri is absolutely required. remove her to someplace that will do things properly. Comas have to be treated, not watched. |

She was transferred to Genesis West in Davenport,Iowa where she is now. She had an implant/appliance/medical device put in??????? Get them out..they are the problem or either the surgery caused some kind of infection. I would call the hospital and tell them I will sue them for every fucking dime they will ever make if they LET her die. Talk to the hospital administrator and give him a new ass hole. If you do nothing you will suffer guilt. Scream, yell and demand....get ugly with them and go after their jugular. The only thing they understand is money. Go after their money and they will listen to you and you will get action. |

I hope you will consider the advice from the AC who suggested having your sister tranferred. It can be done! I was a little disturbed that you said "they won't listen to me". Please consider calling the other hospital or speak to the director of nursing at your sister's hospital. You and your sister are in my prayers. |
