Hi Laurie,
Let me take the word negligent off the table with it's legal baggage. Jeez, who wants a nightmare court examination? No thanks. Not for you. You sound like you have better things to do, like doctors w/borders (how cool is that, even to wish that!)
Your sister might be scared to pieces. At
least she talks to you. Some people deal with pain by pushing it away, fixing it, or compartmentalization, like her attorney-like questioning. Sounds like she wants to know your safeThen there's you, in hospital, experiencing your life, your pain, putting your story together so you can understand. What frustration, anger, sadness.
A letter(s?) sound good. They help me. They don't have to he sent. The power of being heard is vital and life affirming. Unfortunately we can't force anyone --esp the ones we think we need most--to really hear us. However, if you feel strong enough, read or send it to your
doctor. Maybe one to your sister. Whomever. Or a sympathetic someone. Do you say you are 51? I am, and one of the biggest lessons is that there is no power in keeping ones mouth shut if one can speak truthfully and civilly as possible. You absolutely deserve to be heard and you also have the wisdom to accept those that can't hear you and maybe why they can't.You sound very on the mend :-) Thanks for understanding where my bluntness was coming from.

Btw, I agree that Phillipa is wonderful. I can spot a nurse a mile away, too:) Nice to meet you!
