Thank you. If I'm reading that right, he should have gotten 80mg (TOTAL) over the course of two days, and he probably got 240mg (TOTAL) in that time.
Your incandescence does help, btw.
In front of him, I've tried to stay calm and positive. On Friday though, when I told him, "This is just a little blip, and you will be okay," the surgeon said, "This is a big bump, but you will be okay."
When I got home Fri and Sat, all I could do was cry. Today, the anger is a little more ready to come out when I'm home.
I think I don't trust myself to use my anger constructively, yet.
This was at a top Boston hospital. I am still struggling to understand that since Dr. Murderer wrote the wrong order, yet nobody from the pharmacy to the nursing staff said, "Wait a second. Why are we dosing him twice a day?" even if they didn't notice the difference from 40mg to 60mg.
Oh god, Cindy. The poor kid. That's terrifying. I would be screaming down the sky, although probably in the back room.
Cindy, I am so sorry. I can't even imagine your rage. I truly hope he's now able to recover.
Jesus, Cindy, that is terrifying and enraging!
Cindy I am so sorry you all have had this on top of what is already a stressful situation. Truly scary and rage inducing.
Yikes Cindy, that's scary!! I'm glad it seems to have worked out ok though? I hope he feels better soon.
I went out for tacos my last night in town and ran into a couple id met in class last week, who are biking around the country and eventually South America. So that was fun—got their insta so I could follow them, and we had tacos and then ice cream. Tomorrow I fly to Bogota, and Tuesday to hooooooome!!
But there really REALLY should have been a protocol in place, or an alert in his medical record that would pop up to say Hey, this patient is an abdominal surgery patient and this dosage is really wrong.
Jacqueline said the same thing. As soon as you put the dosage into the computer it should have popped up with "Are you SURE?!" warnings that you had to override.
Cindy, may your boy have a speedy and full recovery.
Ugh. Anyone have suggestions on how to get the neighbors to stfu? The "rules" of this place say quiet after 9pm but they've been playing louuuuuuuud music since long before then. I went over twice to ask them to turn it down, they refused. I sent WhatsApp messages to the after hours contact, no answer. Not pleased. Sadly my apartment didn't come with speakers so I can't blast country music at 7am or anything.
OMG Cindy! I can't even imagine how terrifying yet infuriating this is! I'm glad he's doing better, but I'm definitely joining every one on the WTF!?!?! train.
