Was in the hospital from Saturday through Tuesday afternoon
Saturday and sunday I was pretty out of it. Acute Pancreatitus and Kidney failure because of the Crohn's
By MOnday and Tuesday early morning, I was feeling better and pretty bored so I started flipping channels on TV.
TV news stations Fox News, CNN and CNN headline news
I watched a lot of Law and Order Criminal Intent and ESPN
3 of my nurses voiced the same opinions that the TV stations leave much to be desired at the hospital. They have don't have cable, but a dish instead. There were only about 35 stations total. Several channels were repeats.
Let me just say for the record that I wish no illness or suffering even on such a vile creature as Mrs Dawson but a Wichita hospital that needs a dish and only gets 35 channels?

6. it is amazing the amount of news one misses
course, Saturday and Sunday I was content to just die and be done with it.
Yeah,the news would be my worry too. ::)

Kidney failure and she chooses to complain about the political slant of the television coverage in the hospital room.
Stupid cow.

Pancreatitis (cough-AndyScam-cough), kidney failure, and Crohn's Disease. It's a trifecta!
Too bad mean drunk husband Mark didn't alert the DUmp that Pam was near death's door. They could have sent healing white light and pictures of their hands.

Poor pitiful Pamela.

Wow, I feel no pity for this woman. In much of the world, people would do anything for that standard of medical treatment, but she has the audacity to complain? What a moron.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Seriously, this is why they get made fun of.
My biggest complaint when I was in the hospital was the 3am checkups. I hated it.

You don't know the half of it.
Watch... next time you see her, she'll be complaining about paying the deductible on her state-provided health insurance.

And she's one with health insurance.
You should see the primitives who get deluxe first-class medical help paid for by the taxpayers, the way they bitch and moan and whine and carry on--I'm thinking specifically of the Las Vegas Leviathan and Fat Che's little brother, who cost the taxpayers into six figures, and still they griped because they didn't have an M.D. standing by to give them a back massage, a couple of R.N.s to massage their feet, a maid and a butler, a five-star menu from which to choose lunch, a private suite with unlimited cable television and internet, and a vast buffet of pharmaceuticals from which they could pick-and-choose.

With Pammy that is likely the point...to brag about her coverage.

During my five visits to the hospital this year, what was on TV was my last worry.
I had not been hospitalized since I was five years old. I hit the hospital lottery this year and the year is not over.

Only four days in the hospital, she is lucky. Pancreatitis and Kidney Failure and she went home after four days, and instead of discussing how great it is to have access to medical care that could help her, she decides to complain about what was on the TV. Hint Pam for the next time you are in the hospital, most hospital TV's have DVD players, you could bring your own entertainment.

I just read the article at the link. Did I overlook kidney failure or is it not on there?

One of the diseases had to have been caused by the laundromat accident that Pam barely survived.

They have televisions in hospitals now? Shit fire!
A decade ago I was in the hospital for 10 days. They wouldn't even let me have my cell phone, and even if there was a TV, I was so out of it most of the time I didn't give a shit.
Having your guts ripped open and put back together with 36 staples will have that effect.

The hospitals have their own channel now. It's like the hotel channel that shows the weather and important stuff like the ice machine, only it airs "You and Your Pregnant Vagina" twice an hour.

Maybe it's better than I was without a television and on Vitamin M most of my time there then.

:lmao:
One hospital kept showing how many awards they had won as I waited for hours to see a nurse that was late on my medication. :rotf:
-
The last time I was in the hospital, my surgery was scheduled for 10am. I was told to arrive at 7. Being the punctual person I am, I showed up at 6:55 and didn't have surgery until after noon. I had plenty of time to catch up on the news and daytime television.

Oh, great. Hospital TV. I bet they will show the live butt-cam footage of my colonoscopy, too.

Never forget, Pam Dawson is a pathological liar, and a habitual shirker from work.
Maybe she's truly suffering, which would be fine by me, but I very strongly doubt it.

This of course is one of the reasons I've seen medical costs skyrocket so much in just my life.
In 1951, in North Platte, Nebraska, hospital charges (bed and board only) were $6 a day; this was way before my time, but I know it because it's said so in one of my father's radio shows (he was a hospital administrator).
In 1971, in the Sandhills town where I spent my adolescence, hospital charges (bed and board only) was an even $100 day (source: same as above).
Somewhere in between those twenty years, hospitals started adding things such as television, telephones, and other special services.
The last time I spent a day-night-partial day in a hospital (they've always otherwise been partial-day stays) was in late January 1993, but I dunno what the basic bed-and-board charge was, as I worked for an insurance company at the time, and was 100% covered. The room was fitted up as if in Buckingham Palace--no "special services" which I could possibly use, though--and so I imagine the basic bed-and-board charge was at least the same as the finest hotel in Lincoln.
When my oldest sister was hospitalized in one of the big hospitals in Omaha in 2000, being the last other member of the family, I had to be there. I freaked out. While waiting for the end to come, during the middle of one night, I went downstairs, thinking I'd find some vending machines, or maybe even a staff/visitor's cafeteria.
I'll be damned if they didn't have what seemed a full-fledged five-star restaurant on first floor; linen tablecloths and napkins, real silver silverware, waiters, chandeliers, candles, and the finest of French cuisine.
I freaked out. No wonder hospital charges are so high (I have no idea what they currently are, although I suspect the basic bed-and-board daily fee is at least $500); all these "special services" have to be subsidized somehow.
Okay, I'm deaf, so my "needs" aren't as much as they are for hearing people. I always endorsed Florence Nightingale's principle that the only function of a hospital is to hold ill or injured people until they get whole again. If it reduces hospital charges, then I'm eminently satisfied with spartan barracks-style accommodations and bland food, no comforts and accommodations for visitors.
I'm there to get well, not to luxuriate around as if I were in a holiday resort.

My sister died from pancreatic cancer. It shut down her digestive system and she essentially starved to death.
Its a horrible way to go, and I wish it on no one.
that said.
This little story leaves me very skeptical.
Three terrible conditions, all at once and she spends a mere 4 days in the hospital?
Pam if you are going to lie please work a little harder on the details. The internet is a big place. People from everywhere read your words, not just CC and DU. People have family members who have suffered from what you claim -- they know what happens.
-
Man, that Pam is one stupid Sow. ....
is this her???

IF this really happened I wonder if it was the methotrexate that caused it. Both are a side effect from methotrexate.

Renal failure alone would mean a hell of a lot more than four days. Just sayin.

As the product of an unfortunate chromosomal accident, Pam has problems worse than weak kidneys.

One must set their priorities.

I had renal failure when my liver failed waiting for my liver transplant.. I can tell you this , she would have been so drugged up she would not remember what tv channels they had .. they would have had her on a morphine pump and coming in every few hours to give her a shot in her arm ( cant do it via iv ) that would have tried to jump start her kidney..
Sooo frankly i call bullshit

When I worked as an overnight cashier at Walmart, the bank at the front left their TV on, usually tuned to HSN or CNN.
Nancy Grace, 5-6 times a night, every freaking night! (This was back in 2008, when the Texas polygamy case was going on.) The ONLY time she wasn't on, I was either at "lunch", or on break. :argh:
I haven't watched her since then, have no plans to ever watch her or her show again.

The last time I was in (end of January of this year), there was a TV in the pre-op room for me to stay somewhat 'entertained.' FNC was not one of the choices. ESPN was. So was CNN. I kept it on ESPN.

OK, Pam, it's time to play...
Who's your Daddy?
Could it be Bachelor Number 1?

Or, Bachelor Number 2?

Bachelor Number 3?

And, since it takes two to make an unfortunate chromosomal accident...
Here's Mama!

I think on page 1,756,231 of the affordable care act there is a requirement that all hospitals have 200 cannel cable available and 24" flat screens at the bedside. Section f on that page bans fox news also.

I was in the hospital for 2 months waiting to deliver my daughter. I loved it frankly. It was a new hospital and I was on the anti-partum wing. Everything was spa like, huge rooms, all the food I wanted, and a huge stone bathroom. I loved it! :yahoo: Then the baby had to come and ruin it all and get me sent back home :rant:
and about the tv, I got hooked on Jersey Shore :panic:

I think the average payment to the insurance company is around $1000-2000 a night. If you're paying out of pocket, it's probably higher.
It's highway robbery.

For my 2 months in I got a bill for $129k. Insurance paid the hospital $46k
For my daughter's 9 days in the NICU they billed me $50k and insurance paid them $12k

Nancy is not so aptly named, at least her surname.

Blue Cross pays very little of what the hospital bills my insurance company.
Most hopsitals bill for a semi private room, when in fact they only have private. (which I like better)
Even when I was in ICU after my stroke the hospital was paid around $500 a day. For all they had going on, I felt it was worth the price.

Acute Renal Failure can be relative mild, especially if it is brought on by something like dehydration that can be easily reversed. In some cases it sounds much worse than it is, in others, it is truly awful. However, the fact that she claims to have been completely out of it for two days, and then concerned about television programs is what raises my eyebrows, unless she was simply drugged up on pain meds.
