Weird Questions

[JazzysMom]

I had my husband come home with a name/# of a woman who was in her early 70's from our area with CF. He worked with this lady's neighbor. I said I am sure I would know if someone else (especially a 70 year old) in our little area had CF. I called her anyway.

Turns out I knew her, but she had remarried. She didnt have CF (cystic fibrosis) she had PF (pulmonary fibrosis). Both damaging to the lungs, but many differences also!

TOO many letters, abbreviations in the medical field!

Oh I will throw this one out there cause my friends thought it was hysterical. When I went in for transplant I was asked all the normal question even the do you smoke? question .... while on O2 and gasping for air signing in for what is hopefully going to be a lung transplant. I answered no. Well then again a few hours later when I get to the room (still waiting) I am asked the same questions because the woman forgot to save the information into the comp. I say seriously do I HAVE to answer these questions again. The woman apologizes and I answer everything .. including the do you smoke question. Then I go down for surgery and they are double checking - or triple checking the info in the comp and shocker nurse No. 2 forgot to save the info as well, SO I got to answer the questions AGAIN. <b>I go in for surgery and come out and while I am barely lucid in S ICU they realize that oh! the information was "never" asked of me. SOOOO I get the same questions AGAIN ... I then mutter I have already answered these and she says I know but they did not save the answers (*bangs head into wall*). Then dun dun dun .... she gets to THE question ... as I am laying medicated to help with pain from my DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT! she says .... "do you smoke?" </b>My friend said my only response was UGH! and an overly exaggerated eye roll .... to which she laughed and told the woman to come look at my face and she would know the answer to that question. She kind of chuckled and moved on to the next question.

I dare the next lung tx recipient to have their first words after waking up be 'Do you have a cigarette?' <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

I try to stretch my clinic visits out to as long as I can between visits. After one particularly successful long stretch (almost 1 and 1/2 years) I called to make an appointment. The staff person said 'Oh, we thought you died!'
