Can someone please tell me where on earth I can buy Pamprin in the UK?
Well, I know this is going to be shockling, but nurses are human, and they sometimes make mistakes. I truly doubt they forgot to grant you your prescription out of malice. And no, the ER cannot appointment in prescriptions. It's be a rule at mine for as long as I can remember. I don't understand why you didn't stir back as soon as you realize you forgot the 'scripts? Since some of the meds be narcotics, it was probably destroyed when you didn't jump back.
Follow up next to your family doctor. The ER isn't for follow-up comfort, or primary care, or any type of supervision other than emergency.
If you get the impression you must, keep complaining. Call the ER nurse superior again. But from my end, it looks similar to you received appropriate care, so don't be surprised if it doesn't turn anywhere.
Things to look for after a fall?
For in a minute, try to work with the ER Manager and the Dept. Chief.Why don't you go and see a doctor? The sense people bring treated like this is after the initial emergency they KEEP GOING support there. E.R.s are not the place to draw from after-accident care. Go to your doctor. He'll furnish you what you need.
Is it unpromising to have too much sleep/too little sleep?
That sounds typical of an ER. I despise to go nearby. It's just sit and keep on and be in strain. You got discouraging treatment and it should be corrected. I agree you should not have to be in motion back again to acquire the meds they forgot to give you.I would hold on to contacting someone till I got an answer. Keep discussion to supervisors and go to the hospital administrator if you carry no help.
You could also contact Medicare roughly them. I am sure they would contact the hospital.
What do I do when someone is choking on their food?
Call and ask for the name of the Director of the Hospital (or look it up online). Write the Director beside your experience/problem.A slight concussion... A SLIGHT CUNCUSSION!!!!!!!!!! my 6 month old...?
It sounds as if you are anyone classed as a 'potential addict' ... and since you did have some Vicodin at home, I can see why. If you TRULY THINK that you be 'treated poorly' (malpractice) then you obligation to speak to the hospital's chief of staff AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, and you need to be as 'clear and succinct' as possible. Actually, I am SURPRISED that you be treated with Demerol, Oxycodone, and Valium after you 'hit your head' because giving 'ANY NARCOTICS' following a head injury is 'contraindicated' ... they want you as 'unmedicated as possible' and don't want to pass you ANY narcotics because they DO CHANGE the way you 'reason, feel' ... and even how you SEE and ACT. Thus, I AM worried that you were 'poorly treated' by this hospital, but because you WERE given narcotics within the hospital, not because they 'forgot' to give you the prescriptions when you vanished. If you TRULY FEEL that this 'poor treatment' was contained by fact, malpractice, after you should see an attorney (one who does malpractice suits, or who knows to dispatch you to one if you need it), but I ruminate that by simply going to the 'Hospital Chief of Staff' you may be 'satisfied' that your complaint is being 'taken seriously' and also happy that 'everything will be done in the future' to make sure other patients are NOT treated as poorly as you be.ER stands for Emergency Room. Note that word 'Emergency'. It is not a clinic nor is it for non-emergency follow up treatment. It is for emergencies. Simple really.
Go to your line doctor and get the prescriptions you want from them. This approach you (and others) will keep ER free for emergency cases to find seen more hastily.
