I'm so sorry you went through that. It is just unbelievable, but yes this type of thing happens too much. I seriously think medical people get complacent because they deal with things over and over, they get tired, they get sloppy. I had a surgery and the surgeon asked me before he wrote the pain medication what I was allergic to and I told him the pain meds I was allergic to. We went through the pharmacy and guess what he wrote me? What I was allergic to!
An issue I am seeing more and more these days in hospitals and doctor offices is that no one knows how to spell anything. I have to spell out every condition I have, every medication I take, etc. It is very dangerous that these people don't have a clue.
