As others mentioned - the nurse who first of all did this - should be reprimanded and/or fired (I used to manage a home health office and work in HR in a hospital - they would have been in big touble)...... as far as going forward, first, the prescription the doctor writes for Alan should be on the every bag of IVIG you get - mine specially states 25MG for 15 min, 50 for 15 min, 75 for 15 min, then 100 as tolerated maxiumum rate - infusion minimum four 1/2 hours... again, I've had nurses tell me otherwise because they wanted to get moving on their schedules - not accetable... do not let them... if its not printed on the bag - call the infusion agency and ask why not.... further - again, write up what happened for the doctor, I would fax (but often faxes just get put into files until your next visit) and follow up with a phone call to Zoya to make sure the doctor gets it.... if I were you - and the doc - I would immediatey change infusion agencies since they are trying to get you to keep what happened at secret - NOT ACCEPTABLE.... this is a person's life we are talking about...........!!!!!! Sic em.....
