back to the hospital

Marie waited 7 days in the hospital for the equipment to come in. It was a device that would allow the surgeon to follow a three dimensional picture of her brain, so they could find all the tumor. After a couple of days of waiting, a nurse on the floor approached me, and said, that a case worker was assigned to follow Marie's condition. That, as it turns out, is a normal thing for an insurance company to do. The nurse told me that she understood, that the case worker wanted Marie to go home and wait for the equipment to arrive, instead of staying in an expensive hospital.  I called our family physician and explained the situation to him. He assured me that no one would send her home. She could be a danger to herself. I don't know if the insurance company really wanted to send her home, or if the nurse was jumping the gun, but it was drama that I didn't need at the time.
