Abnormally Low Potassium Again

Kris J. from Fairfax Hospital with Virginia-Mason approached and tried to pry and offer “psych ward” services even after I read statements from neighbors which confirm I’ve had a pattern of stalking and harassment against me which has escalated into death threats.

I asked if Fairfax was in any way connected to Fairfax in VA and she said no. Their tags were Fairfax Hospital but this is Virginia-Mason and I have no idea what the connection is. All I know is that some woman from Ireland directed me here. I don’t even know what Virginia-Mason is about.

I found Kris to be absolutely offensive and unreasonable. She tried to say I was at ER for “paranoia” or safety concerns when I specifically told her I’d had abnormal blood in my stool and they DID find my potassium levels to be abnormally low. Again, low potassium. So when I asked her to make a note of this since low potassium is significant and a good reason for not feeling well, she refused. She just wanted to write up what she was going to write and didn’t want to include any information that legitimized my reason for being at ER. I told her it might be pertinent records for her to take down next to her therapy notes, but she refused and said one can eat “bananas” for potassium. I said, “Yeah, like ten bunches.”

I finally asked her to leave. She didn’t like this very much but I was cordial and firm and told her while I was stressed, my levels of stress were commensurate and normal for the current conditions. I told her if her cat died that day, she might be depressed, which would be normal considering her cat had died. I said what is not normal is when stress or reactions are not commensurate or are outside of normal boundaries. I said if in fact, I was receiving death threats, it would be normal for me to be stressed and not an indicator for admission to a psych ward.

The woman just had her mind made up before she ever talked to me, and even questioned that persons in my life were even REAL. I told her I could give her an entire list of individuals to interview if she wanted to verify reality. I told her I had written about a guy with one injured eye whom I dined with at the Brazilian Grill the other night and he was known by staff there and if she wanted to confirm this, she could walk right over and confirm. I told her she could do this for any number of individuals who have approached me lately.

She didn’t want to. She only wanted to make her opinions and keep them, and keep the fact that my potassium is abnormally low, and I’m having abnormal rectal bleeding, out of the whole picture.

Why?

I told her I was told the bleeding couldn’t be from an ulcer, because it was all bright red, and it filled the toilet and it was only after I had something to eat or a cigarette from a random person. It started two days ago, after dinner last night. I went to bed and that night, I had severe bleeding from the rectum. Then I had normal stools and there was no strain and I do not have hemmoroids or a history of them. They said the bleeding could be coming from something lower in my body. I then had a cigarette and had to use the bathroom and had extreme bleeding again. All bright red. Each time it happened, I had to use the bathroom and had blood and even a couple of blood clots. Not just a drop or two. I then was fine and went to a restaurant and after taking two bites, I then had to use the bathroom, and had a lot of blood in the stool again, through all of it, not just a couple of parts, but consistent through all of it.

I show up at ER and when they drew my blood, I was bleeding more easily than usual. My heart rate was also high, at about 134 a minute. I had felt somewhat dizzy and walked to the hospital, and the only thing they found was remote blood in my urine and in my stool, and they found abnormally low potassium.

Given the death threats, I wondered if I was poisoned by food. After being in the ER for a short time, my back began to hurt like how I’ve experienced in the past, in relation to having diarrhea or the urge to have a bowel movement, and yet this time I had bleeding along with it.

I haven’t had the same urge to use the bathroom after eating something or going someplace with someone, since I’ve been in ER and I ate an entire sandwich and had two glasses of orange juice and I’m still thirsty.

They said they're going to give me an IV of potassium and some electrolytes.

Because, of course, "nothing" is wrong with me except for what some claim is in my head.

The thing is, abnormally low potassium is more than sufficient grounds for ER admission. I had it done in Wenatchee when I was showing up with heart racing and they gave me this whopping dose of potassium and said it was something to be treated for at ER.

I declined the "services" of the psych ward for Fairfax Hospital. They had no authority to admit me for any reason and Kris J. wouldn't even document the validity of my visit to the Virginia-Mason hospital. She refused to write anything down about rectal bleeding and abnormally low potassium.

Oh, I'm sure they could have taken GREEAAT care of me there, like, offered me a banana with every meal, or maybe I could just imagine my potassium problems away by doing some nice art therapy in drawing bananas and imagining I'm absorbing potassium through my intuition.

Now they're telling me they're not doing anything for potassium after telling me what the levels are.
