Went to the er

Blood work showed a bloodstream infection. They want to keep me for 2-4 weeks to do the iv treatment in the hospital.

Im refusing. I will not stay here for two weeks. I told them to treat me at home or im leaving. Either way im not staying here again

Dont endanger your life. They should be able to treat you at home.

@samueltyler2 im not sitting in a hospital bed for weeks just to get a iv treatment daily when it can be done at home

If you can find a way to have the IV treatment done at home with some form of medical supervision, then it should be alright.

@Barefooter25 they refused at first so i left. Bubby had to bring me back to the room. The doctor finally agreed to do it at home

Unless it's a superbug infection, then there is no reason it can't be done at home.

Even with a superbug, they can start it in the hospital and in a few days send you home to finish the treatement.

@samueltyler2 no I'll need iv treatments nightly for at least 2 weeks

@Cigarguys they should be able to arrange that at home.

@samueltyler2 the doctor refused at first but agreed. Just wait on my port to get placed so we can leave
