It start with my mother having bad headaches. I will always take her to the doctor. The doctor would give her tylenol 4 with codeine and valiums and some high blood medication. However when we did go for her check up her hb would be 170/180 which is high. The doctor would up her dose and send her home. Will on the night of Easter morning sunday of 2003, me and my mother were planning to go get nails and hair done together and get a bit to eat. I received a call from my younger brother of 16. He said, she was in the shower and got out and said her neck was hurting. Then she went unconcious. Before she went out she told my brother to call me. She was diagonis with Intracranal hemmorage, which is a way of say all her brain cell erupted. If the doctor could have taken his job a little more serious i believe she would still be alive. When they took her blood pressure at the hospital it was 204/247. She survived for 12 pain staking days. Since the death of my mother, I have not been the same I can't sleep :) it three in the morning and I'm typing. I pick up the phone to talk but no ones there and the sad part about it all it could have be prevente. Rest in peace mom. I made it to 30
