Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Just a quick comment on Demerol in the hospital. I saw a post .... didn't make note of who said it..... regarding taking Demerol in the hospital for pain. This is what they give my son, Cameron when he is in the hospital....Demerol and Morphine on a two-day rotation. During one hospital stay however, they forgot to rotate off the Demerol and he was on it for four days straight. It caused major migraines and ended up causing an irradic heartbeat. This is now something my son lives with. I think the BIGGEST lesson I have learned in all this is ASK QUESTIONS! If you question ANYTHING about your meds or treatment in the hospital......ASK until you feel comfortable with how much you know.
