If so, what was your reason?
When my mom went via ambulance, they were excellent in the ER, but when she was moved to ICU, we had a nurse who I believe may have been on the verge of a breakdown. If the doctor said to give 4 meds, she literally gave them to my mom all at one time! Being a senior, her system could not tolerate the meds so she had all kinds of problems. No one would listen to us. They insisted that she was diabetic when she had never been, given her insulin. It was a nightmare. I told them I wanted her dischared immediately after 3 days there. I told my mom, we're breaking out of this joint. Once at home, the meds were out of her system, she was back to normal. For the second hospital event, we had a better ICU nurse, thus better treatment. She was properly released the second time.
