RE: NORMAL ENZYMES IN CHRONIC PANCREATITIS

[Guest guest]

" . The ER doctor told the nurse to give me Benadryl for pain via IV. I never

heard of taking Benadryl for pain before. I was given the Benadryl, but that

did not do anything for my pain. I asked the doctor if the Benadryl would

take away my pain. He said yes. I was still hurting and crying. I then

alerted the nurse and doctor. The doctor had the nurse give me a cocktail

mix of milk of magnesia and lidocaine. I took one sip of that cocktail and

began vomiting bile all over the place. "

What a moron. I have absolutely no idea why he gave you Benadryl. I know we

occasionally gave patients a " GI COcktail " which contained Donnatal,

Mylanta, and Lidocaine. It was used for patients with epigastric pain due to

reflux. and yes it is gross.The only way to down it is like a shot of

whiskey, quick and chase it with a small amount of water. Even then it will

make you gag or vomit. Sounds to me like he needs to be reported to JACHO. I

do have a question for you though. All residents work UNDER an attending

physician and IF you were not getting adequate care you can demand that the

attending see you. They are ultimately responsible for the care you receive.

Did you ask for the attending? Also you can ask to speak to a patient

representative. Most all hospitals have one available 24/7. Sometimes they

can help run interference for you with the doctor. SOrry you had such a

horrible time and things get better for you soon.
