You must be alert to what is going on with your health. Research medicines to be given and see if they are contraindicated with your illness. Ask questions. If hospitalized have an advocate with you 24/7. Accidents happen when you don’t have an advocate and don’t ask questions. Question every medication given, any test, any lab work. Trust no one. Know the medicine you are taking. I have caught my husband’s doctor on several occasions suggesting medication that is contraindicated d/t his unfamiliarity with medication side effects. Change doctors if in doubt. Push for what you want. Stand your ground.
