hello

[Guest guest]

First I wanted to thank everyone for all their messages. A special

thank you to a and for their phone calls. I am just kind of

resting. Having a hard time with steps and stuff. Plus I want to get

up and go and I can't. This is certainly more than I ever thought it

would be. I do want to tell you that before I left the hospital last

Thursday there was a big problem. Thank God I have such a big mouth. I

take synthroid, and they came in with 10 pills, which was ten times my

dose. I refused to take it and they tried to tell me I had to. At the

U. of P. the interns write the prescriptions. I told them I was taking

one pill and one pill only. Tried to tell me, I had to take it. I ask

them what part of I'm not taking that medicine don't you understand.

Ten minutes later they came in and told me, a mistake had occurred and

the prescription was written wrong. All this followed by the intern. I

raised a major complaint because if I wasn't on top of what I take, I

would have been in very serious trouble. Today, I called the hospital

and raised another complaint and told them I want something done about

this. If I had done what they wanted I would not be here today. I know

they won't do anything about it, but I plan to raise the issue again and

again. I told them that I would not come back to that hospital. I felt

this mistake plus the lack of care after intensive care is enough for

me.

I am thinking of all of you.
