OMG Lynne...what were they thinking? Maybe you should make sure it's on her chart...ask to see it. If it's not one thing it's another.

I don't know what you could do to be SURE it doesn't happen again. Make them put it in RED in her chart or flag her chart in some way to indicate that THIS particular medication is not to be changed except by Dr. XXXXX.
I would raise a stink big time and I would let them know that her vision might be affected by this oversight and I would let them know that you might take action if anything like this ever happens again. I wouldn't be nasty, just matter of fact. If your mom doesn't have a secondary medicare plan, then this could cost her some money out of pocket - thus, the facility might be liable for those payments since they made a medication error - or someone made an error!

Good advice, Gayle!!
Lynne, I hope that this never happens again. It would be so awful if your Mom's other eye lost it's sight. |
