Boy did you nail that one. Had a hand Ortho tell me his Celestone steroid injection didn’t cause the 2 weeks of H I went through. Mederol based are 3 days.
Bentyl neurological reactions was right in front of the nurse administering it, she never put it in my hospital chart, noted it as MISSED dose, and next 2 nurses brought it in, thankfully it is a pill and they have to wake you, I told them I’d had a bad reaction; they noted it as Missed Dose too. I REAMED out the doc the next morning and it got off my script list. Unfortunately he order an even worse 1, Cytotec which is used in early stage abortions...A person in unknown AB pain, that is not a drug to give, nor to a Pro Lifer. I hate when they are IV and they sneak in and hang the stuff. Zoysin destroys my vision very quickly and takes nearly a month to recoup. MS Contin is instant reaction too.
Over the years, I have had several experiences insisting on a point on behalf of my parents in hospital ERs and doctor offices. It took my intervention recently to make sure that my father's concerns were taken seriously about the risk of a procedure urged by an attending ER specialist. When I later dug through the current edition of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, my father's refusal to have the test urged was dead on correct.
Due to time pressures and weariness with questions, many doctors and nurses are inclined to take little account of what their patients say. Yet people are not domestic livestock and must be consulted with and advised as to their medical care. And sometimes, nurses and doctors are simply wrong.
