This was my 3rd trip TO Saint Louis this summer (several through). I went with Holly again. Carter had 2 doctor's appointments. So while we were heading that way we could stop & see Aunt Ev & Uncle Phil.
Well, Carter's first appointment was for a hearing test. He had fluid in his ears so they couldn't do it. Then the 2nd appointment was for a vision test & he had pink eye. So a wasted trip for Holly. :(
But I got to see Aunt Ev. While I was there, she had a room mate that had been on drugs, fell, hurt herself and ended up in the hospital. Apparently she was coming off the high and the doctors told her that she had a crack in her neck & needed to wear this neck brace. Well the male nurse tried to put it on & she kept saying to stop restraining her. She was yelling that the nurse was attacking her. After she yelled VERY loudly for some help & they struggled she ripped her IV out of her arm. That made the IV alarm go off & it was quite loud too. So that woke up Aunt Ev. Well Aunt Ev decided to tell the male nurse that all that girl needed was for him to turn off the alarm. He replied with, "ma'am this would go a lot easier if you would stay out of it."
Well, Aunt Ev involved or not, it did not go easier. The girl was screaming, running into the hall & attacking the staff. They had to call in 3 doctors, 3 nurses and 4 or 5 security guards. They finally sedated her, restrained her & moved her. But not before quite a scene and several bad words yelled out really loudly. And not before Aunt Ev could announce that the nurse was being a little S**t.
Lisa and I both had to keep Aunt Ev from going over to the other side to interfere.
In Uncle Phil fashion, he said he hoped that they would get a refund for that day's rate.
