Make Emergency Room doctors to list ingredients and side effects of medication before they give it to patients.

Created by I.S. on June 24, 2013

Recently my mom has visited the emergency room for a ulcer in her mouth that has been spreading very rapidly. She has been taking antibiotics for it but it hasn't been working very well and it was a weekend so her doctor was out. When she finally got checked in for the ER the doctor had no idea what she was doing, gave her stuff to numb the pain and after a while she finally convinced him to give her better antibiotics. What he did not tell her until she was checked out was checked out was that the medication has epinephrine in it. If he had read her medical records was that she has a heart condition.This could have been fatal. When she asked to stay so they can monitor her doctor refused. This is to make doctors tell patients side effects and ingredients before It is given to them.
