and yes, they will be admitted yet again. why? because they have one or more of the problems identified in this post. It is a never ending cycle of admissions until they inevitably meet Dr. G. or someone like her. Maybe even the embalmer will get them instead. Hard to say. But when they start coming in like this, you can be sure that one day soon, they just won't make it in to the hospital in time or that their family won't find them unresponsive in time. More possible even is that the disease process finally takes hold for good and won't let go until everything on the inside is ravished and gone. At least their suffering is over.
[ Yes there are really, truly sick people that have truly no reason for their disease. Yes, they too can come into the hospital over and over again. There are also people who are completely noncompliant and visit us far more often, giving them the status of "frequent flyer".]
