[quote=Anonymous]Hospitals and humans make mistakes.  My some spent months in the hospital as an infant and we made sure to stay by his side as much as possible.  I can remember vividly two mistakes.  I argued with the nurses they were doing XYZ math wrong and they did their way and each time it turned out I was right.  One was feeding him via feeding tube.  I said she was doing it to slow per doctors orders (pace involved in figuring out the pace of which to push the g-tube feeding from the saline bag) She insisted she was right.  When the feeding wasn’t done in an hour she was like “ooops”.  I would have pushed harder if it had been meds.  Another nurse ignored my son’s silent crying (he had a tracheotomy so no noise).  She said she was busy.  I was yelling that something was off.  By this point I knew how to do some medical care and so started looking at this trash and it was blocked.  Again- different nurse said “oh sorry”.  Third and nurse mixed two meds.  I said he vomits when he does that.  It is in his note - please give them separately. Said that she has never seen their.  I was right there.  She ignored me in my face.  He threw up on her 30 seconds later.  All over her.  The intense vomitting caused the NG tube to come out requiring another x-ray to put it in.

I could go on.  This was a national top ranked hospital.  We learned a lot to never leave people alone in the hospital.  Take notes.[/quote]
