Jamie finally found out what was "REALLY" going on. This hospital is a crock - St. Petersburg General Hospital - NEVER GO THERE!
Anyway, when she was admitted Saturday night, they did a CT Scan and ultrasound, etc. They saw the fluid sac, ran some bloodwork, etc. Then they put her in a room and put her on Demoral and the anti-nausea drug, and then were pumping her with Antibiotics every 6 hrs.
Whenever she would see one of the doctors (they would come in and out) they kept giving her a different story, but always about the sac of fluid being the issue.
Finally, the doc they "assigned" to her shows up on Monday and he tells her she can go home Tuesday. She's like can you PLEASE tell me what is wrong with me?
He was very upset when he learned that the other doctors and nurses never told her. She has ECOLI and a UTI. That was it. Thus the antibiotics. The sac is there yes, but it small and not an issue. Same thing with the cysts. He says the cysts are normal, etc.

She gets out today, they are going to prescribe her some pain meds and antibiotics and if she doesn't feel better in a week she's supposed to go back to get checked out.

I guess the big confusion was that whenever you check into this particular hospital, they assign you a Primary Care Physician, and the one she was assigned was on vacation all weekend and didn't know to see her until Monday. In the meantime the other people would come in and see her chart and I guess they were ad-libbing what they thought the issue was. Bunch a crap. That hospital just might get a nasty letter from me.
