I'm so sorry to hear that Pat was re-hospitalized. I was worried yesterday when I saw several LJ entries about an increasing fever. (I wish I'd seen them as they were happening instead of all at once at the end; I could have done something.)
The state of health care in this country has been getting worse and worse. To be safe, everyone really must be his own advocate, getting informed about medical conditions and keeping an eye on everything the doctors do. I can't tell you how many times doctors have tried to prescribe meds that my kids are allergic to, or ignored other medical history.
Oh no!
