USE SMALL WORDS WILL YA!!

After dealing with doctors on behalf of my sweet little Gma, I am beginning to feel much dumber than I ever thought I was. It's not just the fact that in the near month she has been in the hospital she's had 7 differant doctors, it's that they all seem to think we know all their technical terms. Do they not see the confused, mouth open, empty stare means we have know clue of any sort what you just said. Please talk to me with slow easy words I can understand, talk to me as if I were your mentally challenged kin on your fathers brothers side. I should not have to leaf through a dictionary to have a conversation with you.... And not to mention the fact that two of the doctors have asked us what she's in for, ( she stold a car, and robbed a convenience store) come on people is it not written on her chart. Mom and I we sitting with Grandma yesterday when a woman doctor came in and interduced herself and asked us the reason for the trachea tube being put in, after mom and I looked at eachother with that ~what the hell stare~, we told her, she looked at her chart, looked at the patient, then left the room. I don't want to diss the doctors, but I am seriously guestioning the care she is getting, none of them knew she had sleep apnea (sp?) which she was diagnosed with at least 10 years ago and should have been in her charts, but no, we had to tell the doctor, and now we find out that is pretty much what caused all her problems with the heart, kidneys, lungs, among other things. I know it is general hospital practice to be treated by several doctors at one time with all the specialists and what not. But if you have 7 differant general practice doctors in a 3 1/2 week span is that in the best interest of the patient or the hospital. How can you treat a patient by just their charts and a few days of seeing the patient for a few minutes at a time. We have heard so many conflicting stories from so many doctors I am ready for them to tell me my 76 year old grandma is pregnent with twins. I know this is not a funny thing it is quite scary, and the only thing that has helped are family get through this out of control ride is letting the Lord take the wheel, I know Grandma is in his hands and through him she'll get the best care she needs..
