If elderly stay away from this hospital. Mom came ...

If elderly stay away from this hospital. Mom came in with head injury. i explained that she can not have antibiotic because she will get C-diff. Was told by Michelle, PA ER, i had two options- 1- give her Rocephine or mom will die. The ER nurse said she would become septic if no antibiotic. All this without the UA culture result and the preliminary blood work for to determine if Mom was septic came back normal. Talked with two Hospitalist and we all agreed no antibiotic. One Hospitalist talked a lot about skydiving but did not remove the antibiotic from the charts. The night nurse Jennifer in A6 did not take very good notes from the day nurse because she was told NO antibiotic, Mom even has a reg tag stating she has allergies to antibiotic. Sure enough after 4 days Mom has C-diff. I tried to warn the hospital because she was in a room with a post-operative patient. C-Diff is very contagious. Again if you love your elderly family DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THIS HOSPITAL!!! YOU've been warned! Also if there is a Malpractice attorney i would be very interested in talking with you.
