Update *10/21* post # 119
Well, Dr. Lee just called. He did not apologize but he did acknowledge that it was his responsibility to sign those Rx's. He said "I misunderstood. I thought you had enough meds from your local vet and I was simply writing down how you were to administer them". I said "I told your vet tech that I had none left and that it was imperative that Pidge get a Lasix at 10:30 AM" and he replied "She made it sound as though you didn't bring any w/you". I said "No, I told her that my vet gave me enough to get me through the weekend and that was it".
He called me on my landline, which annoyed me, because I specifically stated to call me on my cell and I gave him the number. Then he said "I'll call your pharmacy at ______" and I said "NO! That's MY number!" See, this is what I mean. Not enough attention to detail is being paid. We're all human and we all make mistakes but this is a biggie. Pidge needs that Lasix to keep the fluid out of her lungs. If you're not breathing, you're dying! My mother missed one dose of her Lasix and she died that night. And still, I feel that I need to keep coming to Dr. Lee's defense because he gave me years w/Puddy and Yodie that I never would have had. But he's got to have a staff meeting and stress the importance of paying attention to detail, no matter how busy the day, no matter how stressful the situation. It shouldn't be up to the client to be the watchdog. I had just gotten devastating news and if you had asked me my name at that moment, it's doubtful that I could've answered you.
