What is the name of your state? MO
I live in MO, but the hospital and doctors were in IL
I will try to make this as short as possable with just a outlive of what I beleive to be medical malpractice or something.
I went to the hospital inpatient unit for Migraines Only. I was suppose to receive DHE IV treatments to brake the cycle.
My admitting doctor knew I refused to take Dapakote and that I had been hospitiazed for 5 days a year before because of Neurontin. ( Both should be in the medical file).
I was perscribed the following from the admitting dr - Neurontin pills, Norfelx IV, Magnesesuim Sulfate IV, Benadryl IV, Toradol IV, Ativan IV ( think I only had this once), Depacon IV, DHE 45 IV, Phenergan IM, Serzone, Verapamil SR, Depakote ER, Chloral Hydrate ( I don't think I took this I did not ask for it anyway), and Nicaderm Patch.
After the first shot in the hospital they kept me so druged up I didn't know what world I was in half of the time. I didn't take a bath or change close for 3 days, I was too sick. I had large whelps on one of my arms from my wrist to my elbow, swelling and redness in hands, arms, feet, ankles, and some up my legs. When I did wake up I would tell the nurses how sick I was and needed help, my husband called the hospital ( it was 9 1/2 hour drive from home), my mother called, still noone was helping. So, my husband picked me up 3 days later and I had to check out against Dr orders. Not, my admitting dr..but, another dr threw a fit and told me I was in no condition to go home...I told him I was terrified to stay because I was afraid I was going to be accidently overdosed if I stayed. He just got mad and said..well, I hope you change your mind and walked out. He had seen me the day before and I think he took some medications away or I would not have been able to talk to him..( even though I was still in a blur).
I have depression and anxiety issure and they have became worse since I have been home ( 8 weeks). I have suffered from Insomnia in the past ( but, had not for about a year)...now I am going through it again. I told my admitting dr I was terrified of medications...( of course I didn't know everything she perscribed for me)..she knew that was one of my great fears. I thought I was there for DHE IV treatments.
Emotionally this is eating me alive. I truely beleive I almost died and Thank God I did not. I am angry for how I was treated. I am an emotional wreck and I just don't know what to do.
