Her condition became more worrying, her personal presentation more bizarre. She was in hospital to get better, wasn't she.
After discharge this week, it was discovered that the patient had been prescribed a medication very much implicated last year, (while in the same hospital) in disturbing patterns of behaviour.
Re-admitted to hospital in less than twenty-four hours, the GP and family, made it known that on no account was anymore of the contra-indicated drug to be administered, that it was likely the medication was instrumental in the patient's early return to hospital.
Assurances have been given by nursing staff that instructions have now been put on ward case notes to avoid a repetition of inappropriate prescribing.

Th hospital used to send my MIL home after she got past the 'critical' stage, because they said she would get better at home quicker than in the hospital, with less liklihood of catching something else.
