bizarre fall or beat up ?
I can't remember whether i fell about 3 weeks ago or if i was attacked. Whatever happened i had a subdural hematoma and spent 2 days in hospital in the intensive care unit and 3 more in regular hospital room. The police said it looked like a crime scene in my apartment and yelled that my story of falling off the couch wasn't adding up to the fact i had bruises all over my body, including my face. The doctor's and social workers questioned me every day who did this to me. I insisted i didn't remember anything after i fell off the couch. I told them i didn't remember anyone else being in the house. My neighbor came over and told them he didn't see anything but knows a family member threatened me last month. The po
The police asked me if i thought someone did beat me up, who did i think it would be. I named the family member that made the threat to me and his daughter who is an adult. I made it clear i don't know if they had something to do with it or i did have some types of bad medical spell. The family member that is the woman, works in the hospital i was admitted too. She has also been verbally and emotionally abusive too me .i refused to allow her to visit me in the hospital. This is same woman that taunted me her coworker allowed her to look at my medical records last month.
The hospital did put as many safety measures in place as they could so i would not have to have any tests done by my abuser. I did file a complaint with the Compliance Officer at the hospital due to my abuser being allowed access to my medical records last month with no purpose or need to. I felt i was taken seriously but now I'm questioning myself now. I have spoke to them once and they were still putting measures in place for when i have outpatient testing.
Time is running thin. I dislocated my finger the night i was hurt. I was told i need surgery. The Dr's office is supposed to be calling any day now with details about surgery. My dilemma is this Dr is part of the network of Dr's that are employed by the hospital where my abuser works and i would need to have the surgery at that hospital with numerous tests to have in my abusers department.
I'm scared to go back to that hospital, even for day surgery. Not only because of my abuser working there but the hospital itself has taken it's time to call me like they said they would.
I am thinking about switching out of that hospital and network of providers and asking another dr to do my surgery in a hospital he's affiliated with. This would resolve my issues with the other hospital and fear of seeing my abuser.
I have already been off on medical leave for 6 month's recovering from neck surgery. I need to have this surgery asap and get back to work.
I can't decide if going to another dr/hospital is wrong. And i cant make a decision very easy any more.
All suggestions welcome.
