“Rather than assuming time will change the wrongs of the world, in reality, we have to change them ourselves.” ~ Dr. Stephanie VanDyke

SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER’S GREAT CARE TEAM

Thank a member of your care team

Klamath Falls— On Wednesday had a major headache for three days and was concerned it may be a warning of having a stroke like the one from a few years ago where my left side of my face became paralyzed. There are two arteries that go up to the back of my neck to my head. One of the arteries is blocked, which causes the other artery to do double duty getting blood up to my brain.

Concerned there may be a stoke coming or that this could be Covid related choose to head to the Emergency Room at Shy Lakes Medical Center. In the process of preparing, took my time as there was no rush to get there. And no need or reason to call 911. That would not be necessary; but needed to get there ASAP in my opinion, as fast, as possible for me, at the time.

Contacted Grant W Niskanen, MD on my Chart and sent a message to his nurse asking the question of what I should do? However it way too early for her to reply with a suggestion, and more that likely she would have advised me to do one of two things. Go to Sky Lakes Walk in Clinic or directly to the ER. So made the choice to go to the ER. Took a shower, packed a bag in case they admitted me into the ICU, like last time. Then, caught the bus at 7 AM from the transfer station downtown, a short walk from my house. Arrived at the ER ten minutes later.

Joshua Ness, MD, Rebecca RN and Dale ER Tech did a great job attending to me as their patient, and the final outcome was no stroke and SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19), SCREENING/ASYMPTOMATIC UNEXPOSED Narrative. There was a concern a headache could be a symptom of catching Covid –19 as others have done. Better to be safe than sorry for not getting the headache check out to be on the safe side and now no stroke, and no covid-19. What a relief and Thank God.
