Hi Dina,
I can completely understand why you didn't want to delay getting home - you were well enough to go home and I wonder how many patients are in that situation where they are in hospital longer than they really need to be because of the delay with social workers processing the paperwork (not the patient's fault at all - and can be very frustrating for the patient, as well as the hospital because they probably could do with freeing up the bed!).
You'd think that with modern technology and the Internet, things wouldn't take so long these days - but there still seems to be far too much beaurocracy and paperwork slowing things down!
I hope things go well at the meeting tomorrow - hopefully the social worker will be a Speedy Gonzales with the paperwork so that things can get sorted out speedily for you!
Love Kayleigh x
P.S ... and getting back on the topic of this thread 'Ventilation' - this forum is a great place to get things off your chest and 'vent your anger' from time to time LOL
