Typical me... again (go back »)

I went for IV therapy 2 days ago. They kept me at St. Paul's Hospital ER for 7 hours, giving me intravenous fluids non-stop. First, it was 2L of Normal Saline for rehydration, then the bloodwork comes back with almost all values super low. Then they decided to give me some Gravol thru. my IV, as well multivitamins. After that, they decided to infuse 2mg of Magnesium, which they ran way too fast and didn't control properly... I was burning in hell, fever and my veins felt burning, then they gave me normal saline again to flush me and make me feel less nauseous and burning. Now that they've done all that... the Doc comes into my room again... "Errr... your potassium levels are low, we need to infuse that in a 2-hour-infusion. It can't be done faster." They finally decided to use an infusion pump to properly infuse me with electrolytes... Gee... why didn't they think of that earlier??
