With all due respect (as an employee of a large teaching hospital 25+years) it was not the MD nor the nurse that came up small here,(and I'm sorry your experience was unpleasent, as hard to believe as it might be it could have been much worse, but you probably DO NOT want to hear that!) but it was your primary care (or referal MD) and to some extant yourself.

With the volume of studies and the complexity of your medical work up and case YOU cannot possibly expect everyone else to *dot the i's and cross the t's* except for your single greatest advocate "You" and whomever writes all these various meds for you.

There's nothing on the books that says he can't call and talk with whomever needs to know the pertinent, nee critical information so as to help minimize any persuant complication that may present itself.

There is ALWAYS a chance a complication may occur during any interventional study.

Hard way to learn a lesson but hopefully you did. I'd be all mover my GP's *** about it.
