HOT -I don’t know of any cases were meds were increased and they kept using it, even though they weren’t working. I don’t know of any policies official or not regarding keeping pts. “doped up”. As far as infections are concerened, you are correct, but who says that it’s the fault of the medical personnel? When a pt. or visitor comes to a hospital, they don’t come alone, they come with all their germs. And when they leave, the germs don’t leave with them. The hospitals do a good job as they can, getting rid of these germs, but it’s not foolproof. As far amputating wrong limbs and other crazy stories, the only cases I ever heard about was 1 in a million that was in the newspapers, but otherwise I never heard of any such stories.
