Just Savin' Cents

The hospital that is. They gave my grandfather the WRONG medications. The neighbors medication. I mean the man is 82 years old and very fragile. He has very bad heart and lungs. He has congestive heart failure and has been having many problems in the last few years. What kind of idiot nurse doesn't check to make sure she is giving the right meds to a man who came in because he couldn't breath. They gave him a long list of drugs he didn't need including psychiatric medications which about made him CRAZY. He was going insane , saying he was seeing water dripping from the ceiling, to he had to get out of the kitchen when he was laying in a hospital bed. Here is the kicker.. it took FOUR long days, of thinking he had lost his mind, which is possible because his oxygen had dipped below 60% on more than one occassion, for them to tell my mom about their error. They also gave him cardiovascular drugs which could have killed him.

I am in the process of writing a letter to administrator. I am going to give him a piece of my mind. I understand mistakes happen and we are all human, but why FOUR days, especially when my mother was so insistent that something was wrong and called every doctor he was seeing. My mom just doesn't need that crap.
