More details to this question:
My dad went to the hospital e.r. for "pankrientitus" a swollen pankrius. And he was let go the same day with just some pain killers. They next day I took him back for the same reason but when there he got transported to a different location and after 7 days of being in the e.r. there he got sent home but with pain killers and antibiotics. 6 days later I once again had to take him to the e.r. but a different doc looked at him. The doc was very confused about why he was told to take Tylenol and the antibiotics if it was only going to make everything worse. So after 3 days of not taking those meds he was able to leave the hospital again. I called the doc that prescribed that medication and asked him if he was suppost to be taking Tylenol and the antibiotics and he imidiatly said no!! And I asked him why my dad was givin that if he wasn't supposed to take it and I wasn't givin a clear reaponse just some mumbling and asking me if my dad was better. .what can I do!???
