Went to the SNF and saw mom. Dr. L. called before I could enter her room and told me he was sick. I told him I wanted to go over the hospital orders with him. He could not b/c he didn’t have her chart and could not come in until Wednesday. I said to have the SNF fax him what he needed to go over with me. I asked for his backup and he said he didn’t have one and that they could not take care of mom since they did not know her the way he does. I said that’s ridiculous; get them on board now before you are too ill to perform.  He and I argued and he said something stupid about “trivial” matters and we hung up. He said he’s do the best he could whatever that means?????

I called Dr. B. (pulmonary)  office and so did Basil and they spoke to someone in B.’s office and he said 7-10 days was enough of the Antibiotics depending on her condition. B.s office said that’s a judgment call. Well, I have no faith in Dr. L.’s judgment at this time. I want a follow up with Dr. B. in 4 weeks.

Gloria A. said the PCP I am taking mom to will “suggest” but cannot practice at SNF.

10:00 AM Faxing Dr. L.’s office to get her vitamins started again:

·       Bone Maximizer III – take out of the capsule and give in yogurt. With each meal.  This is a Calcium supplement so you can STOP the other calcium supplement that is currently ordered.

·       B Complex – one a day

·       Comfort Zone – 2 with Breakfast, 2 with lunch

·       5HTP - 2 with Breakfast, 2 with lunch

At 5:17 PM Dr. L. called we went over the entire list of hospital orders and made a few changes. We forgot to talk about meghase.
