OT--Medical Did You Know***

Posted by T_Bone on March 15, 2007 at 05:54:02 from (4.240.42.176):

Did you know if your transported to ER while unconsicious that you will most likely get labeled , "overdose", if you have been prescribed any type of pain releiver.

The "overdose" is reported to the Poision Control center in the State you live in and is mandatory or is in Arizona. That "overdose" diagnose stays on your record even if the that was an incorrect diagnose and there was another issue causing the problem. Poision Control checks daily with the hospital to see how you are progressing and ???.

So what's the big deal? Try to go get a job that requires a phycic evaluation and you won't pass it or even be considered because you could have tried to commit suicide. Who would take the time to read the fine print if the label says your unstable and have suicidal tendancies?

They also do NOT pump the stomach on a suspected overdose diagnose on adults. Of course that would prove there therory of drug overdose. In our case it has delayed correct treatment for 3days of the real problem, excessive spinal fluid pressure, all because of the wrong label being appiled.

For the ones that missed my orginal post, My 37yr old daughter was transported Friday night with severe convulsions, unconsicious, not responsive to voice or touch. Reminded me of someone with epileptic seizures (no history).

Current health: Sept 06 diganose with stage1 kidney cancer. Kidney is supposed to be removed in 3wks because of the cancer. Hip joint replacement 5yrs ago. Severe soar thorat that responds to antibiotic but keeps coming back.

She did not require CPR for helio transport. They ventilated her and she bit her tonque during transport locking her jaw. More drugs at ER to unlock her jaw and stop the seizures. Head CT scan was clean.

Were now day 6 of drug induced coma with a ventilator as this keeps the convulsions down. They did a lumbar punchure (spinal tap) and found excessive high pressure. Normal is suspossed to 15 and the meter goes to 57 and the daughters pressure was way higher than 57. We don't know what's causing the excessive pressure but that's what they now think caused the severe convulsions.
