My LO is in assisted living. When a change in medication may be needed or another issue/question requires the facility doctor to authorize/consult, there is sometimes a 5-7 day wait. Doctor is only in the building once per week. The nurses might message him on a Wednesday and by Saturday or Sunday, they still haven't heard from him.
I have been asked to step back and not contact doctor directly — let the staff work through the proper channels. How do I do that when each day that passes, I watch my LO fail even more, waiting for info/consult/medication change?
I think that you should be able to speak with the doctor and find out how to get things addressed sooner or does your loved one need to be transported to the hospital for more immediate help.
I am trying to guage how realistic your expectations are. And I would encourage you to discuss this with the administration yourself. Ask them honestly if they will reassure you that an emergent situation will be addressed with a call to be seen emergently or with a transfer to the EMS.
good luck!
