Here’s the latest information I have on Linda, no thanks to Chuck or Debbie who refused to pass along the fact that the doctors at Indiana University Hospital have nearly killed my wife once again last week!
On September 23, 2010, Dr. Tector decided Linda needed a thoracotomy, due to the fact that her pleural effusions had consolidated and become so thick that they wound not drain through her chest tubes. On Monday, September 27, 2010, the surgeons discovered that Linda was bleeding into her lungs as a result of their surgery the preceding Wednesday, and they had to reopen her chest to stop the bleeding. As of yesterday, she was still on drugs to keep her blood pressure up because she lost so much blood as a result of the botched chest surgery.
Blue Cross/Blue Shield is cutting off Dr. Tector’s gravy train now, denying any further payment to IU Hospital after today since BC/BS has determined through its case manager for Linda’s care, that Linda would be much better off at RML, as we have been contending for many weeks now. She may be transferred there as soon as next week, since BC/BS and RML both have everything in place for the transfer except Dr. Tector’s discharge order, which he might sign now that he can’t get paid for holding Linda hostage any longer. Of course, Tector will say Linda isn’t stable enough to be transferred yet, and he will argue she needs to stay in Indianapolis longer under his care.
Just so BC/BS has all the ammunition they need to pressure Tector to let Linda go, I’m going to send her whole history to the case manager at BC/BS, because when I spoke to her she obviously was not aware of how abusive Tector and his crew have been towards Linda, and towards me. Maybe now those facts will have some weight.
Say a prayer for us!
