You should have received a VIS, and it is your responsibility to read it and ask questions. There is a form you signed before receiving your shot that stated that you had received and read the VIS. It is our own responsibility to know what meds we are taking and why... I teach this to patients frequently, and it is always refreshing to have a Pt that knows what meds they take and why.

If you really wanted to die, you wouldn't have taken a hand full of pills with Vodka in front of your family for the third time in 6 months.... do it right, go out in the woods where no one will find you... Yes, vicodin, percocet, tylenol, and darvocet all contain acetaminophen, and that is why you are yellow and on your way to a higher level of care at a hospital that does transplants.... Sir, there is a balloon at the other end of that tube that holds it in your bladder and if you continue to pull on it, it will hurt.... No, I will not give your Dilaudid undiluted and push it fast because that is how you prefer it.... Pt: I think I am having a seizure RN: silent, flushes IV with saline Pt: Thank you nurse for stopping my seizure, did you give me morphine? Could I get something to eat? RN: I did not give you morphine because you were not seizing, and no food, what if you seize and choke (hee hee hee) Please tell the oncoming nurse if the Pt you are giving report on has had both feet amputated, or she will be embarrassed when she tells the Pt that she is going to feel the pulses in their feet, and pulls back the sheet to find no feet! If your boyfriend has been shot and it on the cardiac monitor, and you shut the door to have sex with him, a whole bunch of people will burst into the room at some point when the monitor is alarming!
