How do you prevent yourself from becoming a hypochondriac after a hospital sends you home with pneumonia?

Hypochondriac, No way! You have been through hell! You may have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder though, because this was quite an event! You should be able to sue and I hope you find a way. Until then, you might want to seek counseling to help you deal with the problems you have now from this tragedy. I'll pray for you. Good luck.
