I am not a nurse, but work for a doctor, when our doc is away we still have access to a patients records, so I am sure the staff could consult the covering doc about your mother.

Fortunately, mine doesn't melt off.<br /><br />I've had experience with the docs who cover for Mom's doctor, and I don't like them. I was able to get to a nephrologist I do like, and I feel better about talking to him.

The last time she was hospitalized, it was over blood sodium. Now, we have a calcium issue. I talked to the doctor (a nephrologist) today, and he gave me instructions for what to do. He thinks she's even dehydrated, so we are pouring fluids down her. :) Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-12579518541558921432012-07-20T16:19:48.439-04:002012-07-20T16:19:48.439-04:00Hi Bisbee,

How frustrating that her doctor is away, and you are having a hard time getting things regulated. Hopefully you can get her in to see a doctor, or maybe get her admitted through the ER.
