Mary,

An attorney will obtain all medical records. If the records show that his file was flagged and he had an allergy, then they must answer for their mistakes.

Allergic to IVP dye, broke out in hives (that was 19 yrs ago) Now I have to pre medicate with steroids as well as benedryl. Had 3D scan today, pre medicated for it 12 hrs and 2 hrs before test. Started itching, short of breath so they called for a benadryl shot. Right after the injection of benedryl got extremely dizzy, throat closed, severe headache, nausea,as well as swelling of lips and tongue, high blood pressure and chills. They called for code and I was rushed to the ER where I was given more benedryl as well as Zantac. Was there for 4 hrs and was able to finally go home. Just letting you know that even if you premedicate you can still have a reaction.

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!
