Get yourself a lawyer!

Hospital employees try to cover up their mistakes or deny them!

A lawyer will get the medical records! Reocrds that the hospital staff may not give to you!

I don’t care what any one says about the iodine allery or what ever is in it not being familiary. Several members of my family react severely to these tests

My strong belief in the fatal danger in hospitals turned me to Alternative Medicine over 25 years ago. So today I am a 85 year old Health Nut…and quite happy about it. E-mail me if you want to chat about Alternative health, herbal supplements, etc and methods.

Given IVP Dye for kidney scan. Medic kept asking if I was feeling warm. The opposite, ina few moments I was freezing.
Body jumping all over the table.Medics had terrible time steadying other arm enough to administer antidote. I could have died right there. Data I signed before hand said 1 in 50 thousand allergic. Nurse since said the number larger now…great consolation. Later with IVP Allergy on front of my chart a Urologist sent me for scan…I stopped Medic as he was about to stick me when body was already half way into the tube. DO NOT TRUST THE MEDICAL PROFESSION TO KEEP YOU ALIVE !! Hospitals: DANGER!!! Stay away if possible!

I had IVP Dye one day ago, Last night I started having chills, I was freezing. I then started having a ringing in my ears and became hot, and sick to my stomach. My head was pounding and I could not stand up or think straight. It finally subsided after 2 hours. My wife had called the ambulance. They side it sounded like I had came down with the flu. It was a reaction not the flu. I choose not to go with the ambulance, they did not have a clue.

NO SAFETY ~ NO CONTRAST

CHECK BEFORE YOU INJECT

EVERY RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT WHO PERFORMS CT’S
MUST BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING WHAT TO DO AND SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE RISKS INVOLVED WITH THE PROCEDURE!

It is so sad and so shameful that hospitals and radiology staff do not advocate patient safety with these procedures.

I guess they are more fascinated by the extra money they charge, when it is done with contrast. Shame on them!

I guess they would rather have a lawsuit, than protect their patients.

omg….. i am so sick of hearing the medical community claiming oh, you won’t have trouble with the dye, even after you tell them about a previous allergy. I then had been premedicated with steroids and benedryl and still got hives! What do we have to do wear a medication allergy band around our head? Seems to me that they should be reading these posts instead of living with their heads in the sand!
