My fiance was in a car accident nov. 5th, resulting in a torn aorta, shattered pelvis, broken hip, broken arm.. He was in a coma for a month, had open heart surgery, screws and plates put in both his pelvis and arm,his lungs failed a few times, his kidneys failed he developed large bed sores that became infected (i believe it was staff), his stomach was cut open to relieve the pressure in his lungs, and he has extensive nerve damage in his leg and foot. *phew*
he is home now, doing physical therapy and what not..
My question is: they have him on so many medications, methadone, oxycodone, nerve blockers, antidepresants, blood pressure...The list goes on and on. Should I be worried that they are over medicating him? Or maybe mixing deadly cocktails? I know anna nicole smiths son died of a mixture of antidepressants and methadone, and marcus is on a whole lot more then that. Should I request we get someone to pay close attention to his pain management. Do they have doctors for this specific thing?
Thanks for readin.
