hubby has been in care 6 weeks in that 6 weeks the Doctor that the home uses has changed his medication so much it has made him ill,he had been prescribed co-codamols 6 a day to replace his tablet for arthritis,he also has a sleeping tablet so in the course of a week he had had 1,200 mg of paracetamol plus the codine plus the sleeping tablet.On Monday evening he collasped had to have the paramedics out he was on a overdose not done by himself Have been on the war path and got all his medication replaced and he is slowly on the mend again. but am still on the war path as we knew nothing of these changes .but saw him yesterday and got another kiss.

How awful for your poor hubby, what a worry for you, so much medication, hope they have sorted it out.

That sounds horrendous Marmarlade, what a horrible worry for you, and it must make you worried about his ongoing care.
Glad you got a kiss though.

It sounds unbelievable that a GP can overdose a patient on drugs! Why did he have to change an already prescribed routine anyway? Hope your OH is improving. Best wishes.
