Clinical narrative: It all started in June. I took my son in to doctor for a check up. I kept asking doctor is it time for his shots for months. He would say no. Then on the day of the end of June, he said my son was behind on 2 to 3 shots. I agreed! Then doctor said he needed 7 shots. (I told him no he doesn't; I had his shot record but he said the computer was right (I disagreed). I was scheduled for July 1, 2005 at the health department by the doctor for what I thought was just 2 to 3 shots. I took my son there and I was his shot record right on the front of the clipboard. They didn't even look at it. They only looked at the computer and what the doctor ordered. When they started giving him the shots, I said isn't that a lot; he's only to get 2 to 3 and I was told yes we know, we have his chart! I thought things have changed since my oldest son was little. My sons are 15 years apart! And then I asked the younger nurse are you sure these are only for 2 to 3 shots and then her face changed, the older nurse just gave him the last one. The younger nurse looked at his shot record and then left the room, came back and was talking to the older nurse. I said what's wrong and they said I needed to contact the doctor about the shots. I was so upset. The younger nurse said he got 7 shots which I knew that and the doctor made a mistake and so did they. I left and went I got to the doctors office, my son was already running a fever. The doctor had his nurse check his computer and said yes it shows now that he has already had most of those shots. The doctor said not to worry, he would be fine, gave him Tylenol for the fever. God I was so scared, here my son was overdosed and all he said was don't worry and sent us home. My son ran fevers on and off for about 2 weeks. His father and I had called the doctor several times and even took him to the doctor. We were told to give him Motrin every 6 hrs and Tylenol ever 4 hrs. At the end of the second week, the fever broke. By the 3rd week he started staring, slobbering a lot, screaming out with a weird sound. Things kept getting worse. The doctor again said he would be fine.
