the doctors messed up information ?!


Question: The doctors messed up information ?
my mom had a seizure, and had to call 911. we went to the hospital in ambulance and got to the hospital. usually when we go to the hospital, they give you an arm band or something with your name and info on it / date. they didn't give my mom one. then on the papers my dad got from the hospital when we were there had the wrong name on it and birth date.
which means that other person could have had other medical problems and they could have gave my mom the medicine thinking she was something else, and the medicine couldn't have been for my mom!
it just makes me sick and worried!
my moms fine now, she can eat good, walk and she says she feels fine and if she ever starts feeling dizzy or crappy like that again then she'll def tell us!
it just worries me so much! help ?!!?!

Answers:

first of all chill-ax.
before you assume that your mom's whole entire stay was messed up, perhaps just the d/c paperwork (or what ever those papers were) had the wrong name on it.
secondly, when your mom did get an arm band/ID, did it have the right name on it? that's more important than the paperwork you got.
I'm glad your mom is feeling better.
