My beloved relative went through the same dehydration cycle/ER.
Notice: Families— bring your own hydration to the emergency rooms; ice chips or popsicles to tide your loved one over while you beg for the IVs. Those first hours without hydration are damaging to a nonagenerian. Also (BYOB)blankets for if there is fever and chills. There is a new myth that fevers are worsened if patients are given blankets. 😳😳😳
So—-When blankets are refused by ER staff due to a person’s fever, reference the article : “Give the patient a blanket!”
(I am enroute to visit my beloved relative. Ginger perhaps you could provide the hyperlink. It’s in an Emergency Medicine journal and refutes this current myth that blankets are harmful to patients with fevers/chills. )
Brave New World. This is Humanity Betrayed 2.0; it has not stopped.
Nurses, what is your first ethical responsibility?

That’s crazy about denying blankets. Why do they treat fever like the enemy? Crazy!!
I’d like to slap some nurses! Thought you were all the good guys? Now just robots, following orders without a conscience. Shame on all of them!!
