I would keep the bag too - as evidence - you dont know what may happen down the line - as Mrs D Said..... and again, contact those concerned.


ALso, the nurses try to hurry the home infusions because they want to get along on their schedules - again - the doctor sets the rate - not the nursing agency...... you need to mention that to your doctor too... it is not true that side effects only happen the first time - there is a chance of going into shock that is high with every the beginning of each infusion which is why they usually run it a bit slower at first and why with every infusion you get benadry and pain killers, to try to prevent side effects all thru the infusion - which can be made worse if the nurse tries to run too fast..... they are not following your doctors instructions and he set up the rate for Alan, not to accomodate the nurse.... they are trying to make their day shorter.... Alan is the patient and instructions are made by the doctors, NOT the nurses.......
