My Hospital Stay

My Hospital Stay

So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

Re: My Hospital Stay

Rang the clinic. They can't find a psychiatrist to take me on. She kept saying "you only have 5 days & then you need to leave". I know that.
I rang my lawyer, as mum suggested. He would call WorkCover & get my approval changed to 7 days. As that's what the clinic lady said would help get a psych.
My lawyer just rang me. He has got WorkCover to approve a 10 day stay. He said the clinic have got me a psychiatrist and they will call me soon to tell me when I can come in.
I hope it's soon.

Hi @utopia - that's a positive outcome.... but outrageous that it takes a call from your lawyer to get some action out of workcover. I'm in the same boat - I get ignored completely until my lawyer gives my employer a poke, they just wish you'd crawl away and never come back to save them having to do some work. Incompetence of the highest order. I hope this time they manage your admission properly and give you a discharge plan and follow up - you deserve it after what you've been through. Take care and get some rest. Hope tomorrow goes well.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member & others. I need someone who can up my meds when I need it. My gp won't do it without the psych saying it's ok. Hard when I don't have a psych. Not for me trying to find one.
I'm tired of fighting. Was good to have the lawyer do it for me.
