Hospitalized
Just spent a week in the hospital.
Chronic sinus and throat infection. Local hospital misdiagnosed it as covid. Went back the next day and told them something's not right. Excessive sinus drainage in my throat and lungs. They finally ran an MRI? Test and found the sinus infection, and sent me to a better hospital. I had no food for 3 days as they pumped antibiotics and steroids in my system. (Type of Chemotherapy?). Been home a week, and healing up ok. If I hadn't gone back and pressed the issue, I wouldn't be here. I've heard hospitals get $2500 for labelling an illness as covid. And you can bet they never corrected the numbers. Anyway, it's good to be back. |

I get sinus infections occasionally, but last year I had one that persisted for about a month. Took 3 rounds of antibiotics to kick it, but it was probably something else, and they misdiagnosed it. Viral most likely, which would explain why the antibiotics didn't really work. They never even gave me a swab test to check for anything viral.
About a week before I got sick, I had some really nasty plumbing work to do at the apartments I worked at. And I told them that. Considering the potential source, there is probably 30+ pages of known viruses or bacteria that could cause those symptoms. I remember by throat was raw, and I was hacking up blood, it was globs of dark red, not pink. Just not all the time. I gargled with Listerine that wasn't watered down, and flushed my sinuses with saline, daily. And it hurt like hell to do it. The medical community seems largely incompetent, and I don't even bother going to a hospital or clinic unless I get something I can't kick with over the counter stuff, which is rare.

Doctors in the United states are awful. Avoid at all costs.

Yea they're. Money hungry.
Don't get me started on the Ears Nose and Throat I'm seeing right now. She isn't mean, she's a kind, nice lady, young, HOT BUT is always in a hurry rushing in patients because she books too many and one of the few in the county and her office staff is ran bare bones and you have to email them usually to talk to someone. The kicker though is the copay. Normally for specialist I pay $30 with my insurance but with her it's $60 for some reason. But the beef is she's probably charging like $130 full price for an office visit and my checkup for my turbine shrinkage last about THREE minutes with her. I've been having some issues with it and she rushed me. Like I was trying to ask questions and she was getting up to leave real fast and literally had to drag her back into the exam room So basically I spent 3 minutes with her and paid $60!!! I can see why specialist pack in so many. She pumps them in and out fast and does all these surgeries and is probably banking 500k. Is it just me or do most women doctors SUCK? Ironic the best doctor I've ever had was a paki, Muslim, male doctor for my IBS. Might of been muslim but the best, most caring, and thorough doctor I've ever had and literally helped cure my IBS. Ironic the latest Kung Flu treatment as well as vaccine work is coming from Europe while KWA doctors have no clue. |

I recently had to go in to get stitches taken out of my hand. My GP is an older guy and is staying away from the office. His new partner saw me. He sounded Indian, but his last name is Abbas, like the Palestinian Authority leader. Somebody I know said that means he's a Muslim. He did order blood tests and later told me on the cholesterol, my triglycerides were high. Turns out I have to eat less carbs, which was something I was planning to do anyway. He also said to get more exercise. So how am I going to do that when the pool and gym are closed because of the Wuhan Red Death hoax?

Despite having wished you dead in the past, I'm glad that you're not dead.

jaekel I wouldn't worry about the steroids and antibiotics you were prescribed. It isn't "chemotherapy" for cancer although the medicines are chemicals by definition. The term "chemotherapy" has become almost exclusively used for cancer treatments and medicines like the glucocorticoid steroids like prednisone, methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, prednisolone, and a couple of others are used as anti-inflammatory agents for many disease states such as sinusitis, asthma, post-operatively to decrease swelling from surgery, etc. Antibiotics are routinely used in sinusitis because lots of nasty pathogens, courtesy of enrichment, are attacking the sinus cavities of a host of US patients.
I'm very glad you're on the mend and posting again. Strength and valor to you!!!!

Thanks for the support
It was actually a good hospital.
Most of the drs. and nurses were proficient............... with the exception of the fat kneewgrow who collapsed two of my veins trying to start an iv in my hand, since I didn't have any visible veins in my purple arms from the previous iv. I firmly asked where is the other nurse?! Of course the sow took offense to it, and left immediately, grumbling and complaining. The food wasn't bad, either. (Took several days before I could eat....everything burned in my mouth, even ice cream!) The vegetables were cooked, but still crunchy, so it was either frozen or fresh. My potassium was low, so I ordered sweet potatoes, broccoli, and bananas. |

The main concern now is the blockage in my right nostril. It's full of polyps, so they couldn't get the camera in there to have a look to see if there were any cancer cells there. The infection has gotten into the narrow bony region of my right eye, and is affecting my eyesight. Double vision at times. I managed to push a q tip through the polyps all the way up to eye level and hit a wall. Didn't want to push more than that b/c from the pictures I've seen, the nasal passage breaks off to the right above the eye. Several months back, one of the polyps was hanging low, and I managed to break it open with a fingernail. It bled a little, but not much. No pain, either. The piece I broke off looked like fatty tissue, similar to a tumor that was taken from my back years ago. |

Had a follow up ct scan, but haven't heard the results yet.
My eyesight seems to be getting worse. Hope they can do the surgery soon. |
