Patient demand answers after allegedly receiving incorrect medication
The patient, who has been managing her condition with medication for more than 15 years, is now seeking answers and justice after suffering adverse effects from alleged incorrect medication.
The woman was allegedly given incorrect medication during April, which led her to pass out for a few hours and caused severe body aches.
She was pregnant at the time and said she woke up from shocking pains in her body, and her hand which had a drip was also swollen and painful. When she got home, the pain was even worse.
According to the woman, it was then brought to her attention by another nurse from a different clinic after she had gone for her pregnancy checkup. The nurse asked her if she was aware that she had been allegedly given the wrong medication.
Her efforts to report the matter were in vain, as the hospital allegedly never came back to her as they had promised.
'The experience I had at the hospital has made me fear going back to the hospital. I now get sick and get healed while at home,' she said.
More alarming is the allegation that no one from the hospital checked up on her after the mistake, leaving her to deal with the consequences on her own.
The woman said the alleged wrong medication has had severe effects on her health, particularly her hand, which she claims is no longer functioning properly. She is understandably upset and frustrated, not only by the mistake itself, but also by the lack of concern shown by the hospital staff.
'I feel like if I go back there, they might even make it worse. I really need those in power to interfere,' she softly said in pain.
The woman is now seeking answers and action from the hospital administration. She wants to know what went wrong, how the mistake was made, and what measures will be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
An inquiry about the incident has been sent to the Department of Health Spokesperson, Prince Nobela, who has not yet responded.
