I'm with you on this one too.

Once, after surgery, a nurse came in to change my IV, and she had a second bag. I said, "What's that?" And of course, in a patronizing manner that nurses through the ages have perfected, she said, "Oh well this is our new antibiotic!" (insert smile here) And I said, "Can I see that?" And she says, "It's just fine, your doctored ordered it for you." So, I won't let her hook it up till I've seen it, right? Well. . .it's pennicillan. And I say, "I'm allergic to pennicillan" and she says, "are you sure?" Am I sure? LOL Well, yes I'm quite sure. And she says, "There's no record of that in your chart" as she's holding the chart with the big damn RED sticker on the front that says, ALLERGIES: Pennicillin, Benedryl, Asprin which I can see just fine even in my anesthesia induced fog.

I'm an educated woman. DON'T treat me like a child especially when it's obvious YOU don't know what the heck is going on.

I TRUST NO ONE!! LOL I know it seems paranoid, but I double check and triple check everything.
