Event Description
|
It was reported that there had been something wrong with the patient's pump since the patient had their pump filled at a different hcp.It was reported the patient had their pump filled but they felt like the hcp didn't know what they were doing.It was reported about a week after the refill, the patient ended up going to the emergency room (er) because of severe withdrawals and were very weak.It was reported the patient stayed in the hospital for a few days and was given medication via an iv.It was reported the patient was bed ridden due to the type of pain they had therefore there are no falls/trauma that could have happened.It was reported the hcp did a fill, decreased medication down 25%, and did a catheter dye study.It was reported the patient had withdrawals last week and the patient was experiencing it again and the symptoms usually only lasted 2 days.It was reported the patient was "starting to throw up" so they may be going to the hospital.The patient was redirected to their hcp to further address the issue.
