Glydin, the last night I worked made my first med mistake. I was of course overworked and acting as charge, doing all admissions, care plans, etc, and to top it off I took the keys home. Believe it or not I'd never made an error before. At least it was not an important one. No harm done. But it made me realize my anxiety was high. Only to find out my TSH was 22. After that was corrected inpt as old old pdoc insisted it was anxiety. He knew he'd made a mistake and asked me if I wanted to continue working. Like a wimp I said no. Been on Disablity since. How he ever got it I'll never know but it was the worst thing he could have done. If only I'd gone back to work. No agoraphobia, afraid to be alone. But now I'm hoping the referral kind of from Scott will yield a correct dx and treatment. Charlotte has large hospitals and in the week I've been here I been in ER, had colonoscopy. Seen internist that didn't think I was crazy when I said I had no smell or taste. Said he had a couple of other pts who had the same thing. When he heard I had chronic lyme's disease he thought that was the cause. An x-ray of spine to rule out tumor suggested by the gastroenterologis, multiple blood work as I have an elevated ANA. Said I never should have been treated by an infectioon control specialist. Said a rheumatologist would be better so referring me to one. All I can say is the medical sytem here is superb to the Beach. And believe it or not I still have the keys. They forgot to ask for them back. But they are only the ones that gain access to the unit. Drove back with the keys immediately. Wonder if anyone else will figure this out? Between you and me huh? Fondly, Phillipa
