My husband was overdosed in the hospital, because the nursing staff could not read the orders correctly. He was coded Blue, and sent to the ICU unit. I live over 6 hours away, they never called to tell me what was going on. I called the hospital after not hearing form my husband all day. I am here at the hospital now. They are acting like this was no big deal; but I know it was, I feel like we were overlooked in so many ways, I even asked to see a social worker because my husband is freeked out, they sent one in but she had no sempothy at all. Why is it that they act like this is no big deal?
So confused. Now we will have even more medical bills for the hospitals mistake. We talked to the pain doctors, and asked them what happened and they said; “the nureses dont know how to read”.
A nurse commented about the person in ICU and how they would stabalize he or she, I totally understand this, but this was 12 hours latter, That is no excuss…

My friend went in for 1/2 hour outpatient procedure. When she woke up it was over 24 hours later with major surgery. spent many days in icu and missed a lot of work. The doctor made a mistake somewhere along the line. She does not want to put the doctor through the ringer, she understands it was a mistake. She does want her medical bills taken care of and I told her to get a little more to help with a mortgage, couple hundred thousand, not millions. So the question is would it be better to deal with the (doctor, hospital) or talk to a lawyer who will want to get a settlement for millions so he can make a lot of money and drive up insurance costs?
