Default medication

I learned early in life that meds are often given wrong amts and wrong meds. My cousin has a son w/ CP and when he was 1yr and in the hospital they almost killed him. Since that time I am a med. nazi. When docs and nurses come in my kids hosp. room I ask that they wash their hands in the room. I ck the chart w/ my own notes so they do not double medicate at shift change (and believe it or not this happens ALLLLLL the time... at vets shift change too I bet). I drive them crazy but I have just seen too many mistakes. I feel sorry for the parents who can't afford to miss work and have to leave their kid's lives in the hands of hospital workers while they are away! I just can't imagine! I feel the same way when I leave my furbaby's at a vets.

Moral of the story always double ck... it happens w/ the best of docs and vets. I agree w/ the person that said if you like them give them another chance. I think you see turn over because a lot of vets ...dentist... those kids of docs like to start in a practice and then if they can't be a partner they choose to strike out on their own. It is really very common. I think it makes for better vets in the long run.
