I've had episode of waking up 3 to 4 days later in a different hospital. That happened 3 times. The Dr's at one. Hospital told a friend that he didn't think i would make it to April. That was last October

@racing212 I also woke up in a different hospital a couple if times. Each had hepatologists but the hospital I ending up going to had the transplant unit/floor. Very disorientating, especially after HE episodes.

@racing212 when you say last October I presume you are referring to October 2018: not this just past October. If that doctor is not at a hospital that does not do transplants and does not have a hepatology department, he/she is probably not that familiar with your condition.
I live in NH and there are only two hepatologists in the state, both I believe at Dartmouth. There is no hospital in the state that does liver transplants. I was at a Manchester hospital for HE episodes and they really were not that knowledgeable. If I knew then what I know now I would never have gone there but the times that I did my husband just wanted to get me care quickly. One time with a more serious Pre-transplant issue the hospital in Manchester did get an ambulance to bring me to Mass General.
