Hello! Just a reminder for everyone that your medical record must be provided to you at your request per the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in all Medicare funded hospitals (with rare exceptions). In my state, the hospitals will provide the medical record per your written request, and do not charge the patient if you state it is for "Continuity of Care." If you don't understand medical language well, perhaps a friend can assist you if they have a medical background.
Peanut, best wishes to feel better and to find a Practitioner who is able to sort through this with you.
Hi Peanut,
It sounds like you have some memory gaps about your experience in the hospital and possibly some scary hallucinary moments.
Were you in ICU while in hospital? Have you been diagnosed with long COVID? Is this pain new since your hospital experience?
I know that's a lot of questions. I ask so that I can connect to others here and in the right group.
