Good day - Drink straw bad - Health Care Scary

Good day - Didn't have any narcotics until the day was over, that makes it good. It was a long day that wore me out and I finally needed relief at the end of the day. The day was long because had my first follow up doctor visits. Still have to wait until next week to get first prediction when I can get back to work.

Drink straw bad - One of today's follow up visits included a conversation that was approximately as follows. Doctor (D): "Good to see you again. You've been remembering not to use straws or blow your nose like you were told while in the hospital?" Me (M): "They gave me straws with every meal while in the hospital and helped me use them. I needed them to swallow fluids because I couldn't close my lips on a glass. Nobody said anything about blowing my nose. I blew my nose once while in the hospital, it hurt and produced a lot of blood so I didn't do it again." D: "Oh..., well with your sinuses fractured you should have been advised to avoid doing anything that could create pressure in them." M: "Sorry, nobody ever said anything." D: "Oh well it's been three weeks since the fracture. Fractures take about six weeks to heal. Try not to create any pressure on your sinues." M: "Okay." All the while I'm thinking how come this is the first time I'm hearing about it and why, if I wasn't supposed to get straws, were they served with every meal and if I'm not supposed to blow my nose why keep a fresh box of tissues on the stand by my bed?! Which leads me to...

Health care scary - At my follow ups I was being asked what were my diagnosis and what treatments I'd received in the hospital. It seemed the doctors didn't know. C'mon, I was unconscious the first 48 hours I was in the hospital. Diagnosis and treatment plan would/should have been decided then. And treatments should have been recorded on my chart. Why in the world is the patient being asked on a follow up visit? Wouldn't more appropriate questions be, "how does X feel now?," "did treatment Y which we asked you to do when you left have the desired effect?" Instead they're asking me detailed medical questions as if I should know the answers. Scary. And I've been given the only radiological report and images I know of. Head and neck only. At some point in the hospital someone told me I had a fractured spine and fractures in my hand. How'd they figure that out? Are there more pictures I haven't been given? And there was no follow up on the condition of my hand which is still a bit swollen and lacks strength and full range of motion. I think maybe it might be a good idea to move to Sweden until I'm healed up.
