And the answer is...

There are positive and negative sides to having 1/2 of your immediate family members as medical professionals. One ICU/Recovering room RN, one OR RN, and a doctor. On one hand, as I have witnessed, they will bulldoze any other medical professional that stands in the way of you getting the very best care. Once a doctor was stereotyping my sister and saying she had an STI. My mom "made" him open her up and see if it was appendicitis. She was right. When my brother was in his last moments, the nurse was refusing to give him more morphine and my sister told the nurse if she didn't she would go home and get it herself and give it to him. On the other hand, my mom takes it upon herself to look up my personal information and call me every five minutes whenever I tell her there is anything wrong. Argh. So my doctor said that she would have some important test results by the end of the day for me. Then her email auto-reply says she will be out for a few days and will get back to me then. No response. Great. Frustrated.
