I asked Ava to set up the next two transports and spoke to her about the new eye medication also mentioned that the pain needed to be controlled by at least 2 Tylenol daily.  She said she would take care of it all.

The CNA Raquel told me that the diapers that the Hospice was bringing are too small. So I called and spoke to Jeanette and told her that and that the wheelchair cushion needed to be different. She said she would take care of that.

The Dr. S. told me that I could have a different doctor form the Hospice group or I could change hospice but it was not appropriate to take a hospice patient out to regular doctor visits. I was under the impression that after the first office visit she could come to the SNF as she had privileges.  She does not any longer with the SNF.

So I called Hospice and told them I wanted another doctor they do not have one, she offered the nurse practitioner and I said not good enough. She then said that I could get a list of docs that have privileges from the SNF and choose one of them. OK, for now I will work with Nurse practitioner and then choose an outside doctor.

I called and spoke to Anne and she said she will leave a list for me this afternoon at the front desk.
