I got sick of him always being sick and called his doctor, the gastroenterologist. he would not call himself so I did it. I got around Hippa by leaving a message for the doctor to call him. First the nurse called and in spite of H not wanting to talk, I put it on speaker and said to the nurse we are both here. Say hi, H and he did. I told the nurse all the symptoms and she called in a script for him immediately. Within a half hour the doctor called back and I pulled the same speaker phone ploy and the doctor called in an additional script.
H ranted and raved. I went and got the medication at the pharmacy and gave it to him 2 pills in hand like giving it to a child. H hurt his back and I found out that back problems combined with a handful of Motrin that he insisted on taking does nothing for him but inflame his stomach. He would not listed and call doctor when it happened 2 weeks ago. I had enough and called. Glad I did. H is not taking all the medication prescribed but he at least has taken enough to get some relief and therefor I have gotten some relief from his illness and him
I took off for the vacation home again this weekend and invited some old friends for the weekend. It was great. I had pleasant company, good food and H was forced to take his meds to be able to participate in the weekend activities.
GOOD FOR YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteVery clever way of getting around the HIPAA issues, by having hubby on speakerphone - I'll have to remember that one!
