You MUST be<br />the advocate for Andrew. Medical professionals need to realize they<br />are treating an entire person (family, financial, religion, residence)<br />and not a disease. I am on your side, you know best about Andrew.<br />As I read your recount of your visit I only thought of my 90 year old<br />legally blind mother's recent hospitalizaion at SMHC. She has untreated<br />chronic AFib and my sister and I along with her primary care (Dr<br />Bartell) and her BJC cardiologist decided a year ago to go with ASA<br />325mg and no Coumadin. So she is admitted to SMHC and everyone<br />except one hospitalist, treated me like a monster when I insisted no<br />Coumadin. I even told them not to waste their time b/c I would stop<br />it. They don't have to deal with the blood draws for INR, just b/c<br />Coumadin is the gold standard for treatment of AFib. Keep being<br />Andrew's advocate and teach him to be his own advocate when the<br />time is right. It never stops!Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039981993172935265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28364481.post-90259055294972762562012-09-24T13:32:16.885-05:002012-09-24T13:32:16.885-05:00I am bawling...
