She had not given any of her history and doctor said to just give it. They gave the shot in her left arm and from then on the damage hit and it has been one thing after another. Caller states she previously had a test done in 2017, electrical shock from toes to head, and acupuncture same day, and only thing showed up was carpal tunnel in right and left hand. She was being treated with 1000 mg Tylenol, and she was fine working at #, and #, since 2018. States she was physically fine and is 54 years old, the oldest one working there and now she's been back and forth from hospitals.  Caller states she was in # in the hospital with weakness 10Jun2021 or 07Jun2021. Caller states this has been a continuous thing going to hospitals for weakness, bladder is just letting go like just having uncontrollable urine, she got dehydrated. She only had to be inpatient at #Hospital in #. Caller states right after admitted there, primary doctors found a superficial blood clot in left leg and started her on #, and they discharged her and transferred her by from main hospital to the emergency room satellite. She was there to do an MRI and had to sedate her because she's claustrophobic. They found an L5 compression fracture, which caller clarifies is new since the shot. Caller states the back specialist said not going to do anything it, it will heal on it's own. Caller states she was sent to get her car and had a major allergic reaction to a drug given while in hospital but the nurse didn't listen, they let her drive her car from ##, which is satellite for # Hospital. States she stopped at a #, paid for Benadryl and had to park the car while she took two Benadryl for having major symptoms. Caller states when she felt she was ok, she drove back to hotel, but when she got there she couldn't get out of car so the manager called 911, and # they came and assessed her. Her cognitive level was fine, but she was sitting in urine and couldn't get out of car, so they rushed her to # Hospital and she was admitted on an orthopedic floor, this was 20May or 21May, and she went unresponsive while they were admitting her, so they coded her. States that she still has bruises on her ribcage. A cardiologist came and actually he listened to her. They did three different cat scans and determined that she now has arthritis in every bone ever broken. It's very painful. States that she is sitting with 5 piles of paperwork from 15Apr to her most current one which would have been at # Hospital just a couple of days ago. She has been diagnosed with so many different things because the doctor's couldn't figure out what was going on. Call handler attempted to query the name of the medication that caused her allergic reaction. Caller stated that there are 4 medications that she reacts to, two are muscle relaxers that she is allergic to, and one of them was given to her at # hospital. States that the problem is that people look at your mental disabilities first, they don't look at your other history, and nurses are over worked, so even though she told the nurse to call her doctor because she was having a major reaction and she knew what it was, they were still discharging her. Call handler again asked for the name of the product. Caller became upset and stated that she is physically in pain and is getting ready to pee herself right now.
