This time it was real close.

I'm wondering if I have a reason to go after the doctor for giving 4 meds that lowered my BP I like the doctor but I almost died, the Ambulance got here faster than ever and they took me in 25 miles at 70 MPH with lights and siren going all the way.

Quite a ride if I do say but I was more interested in getting my BP up than the traffic.
My wife said all but one car pulled over to let us go by must have known it was me in the ambulance.
Walt PS I hope I never have a scare like that agian.

The next day she didn't eat or drink. Thursday she didn't eat or drink. Friday she didn't eat or drink, I called the doctor's office and told them all this. The doctor said to double up the medicine and see how she was Monday. Saturday she didn't eat or drink. Sunday she didn't eat or drink. Monday morning we went to the doctor's office, he didn't even see her, sent her straight to the Emergency Room. She was admitted to the hospital and they treated her for a week for dehydration.

The doctor was unhappy when we changed doctors without telling him. He was lucky that he wasn't sued.

He was in over his head treating an Alzheimers patient and wouldn't admit it. He may be great for normal medicine, but he was just throwing drugs at the disease and hoping something would help. Mom is now in a facility for Alzheimers, while there is no cure they keep the residents safe and comfortable.

Also, I made the mistake of trying to keep up with the ambulance. We hadn't gotten out of town before I had two local police cars on my tail with the cherries lit. All I could do was pull over. The cops were real decent about it. One asked if I was following the ambulance. I replied I was. He asked if I knew where the ambulance was going. Again, I said, "Yes". The cop then said, "Don't try to keep up with the ambulance, you won't do it. Get going, but cool it a bit".

The good news was, my wife survived it good shape, and out of a bill for over $100,000, our insurance paid all but $1,100.

Hey thanks for all the nice things said about me it makes one happy to have made it threw a bad one.. I feel pretty good this morning finally got some sleep. Those people at the Hospital don't seem to realize that one should sleep at night not get up every hour for some test.

They took away one of my Meds and I guess that was the one that was killing me. the Doctor at the Hospital asked me if I was conscious when my BP was 56/38. I said I took my own BP He said you must be a remarkable person most people would have passed out long before it got that low.

The nurse wouldn't let me sit up because my Heart rate was 50 hey its been 50 for years and 40's when I sleep. I have a real low heart rate.

Anyway I have to see my doctor in a week or two so I will certainly get on his case about this one. He better come clean with some good answers Giggle.

Walt (still here and making people laugh)

As to your question about the doctor? Only one person could answer that one, but whatever you decide I sure would wait a few weeks before making a decision. Perhaps it is something with a decent excuse for. I would also suggest doing alot of research on the drugs and the warnings, thus you can make a educated decision. Nowdays some computer systems should catch alot of man made mistakes.

Take a little more time to enjoy life, and notice what is important in your life as well.

Seriously, I'm glad you're okay. That's darned nuts.

You need to have a serious consultation with your doctor.

How would your doctor feel if you almost killed him?

Nancy spelled out below what happened to my dad.

After what he went through, I don"t have too much faith in doctors.

You take care of yourself!

Thank God you are back and OK now. I really appreciate you and all you do for this board.

Be sure to ask you dr. what side effects the meds he prescribes have and take care of yourself.

TAKE CARE ... Mark

Everybody responds differently to medications; doctor's next patient might have a heart attack because the same meds didn't lower it enough.

2 days prior he had been in hospital with 200 over something blood pressure.
