Wrong Hospital Report

I was taken to hospital 1 month ago under mental health and since i got discharged i went to my local GP and they sent the report to him and i read it and it says i overdose on some other medication when i didn't it was sleeping pills but they had put that i overdosed on Benzodiazepine mind you i was prescribe only 25 tablets 3 weeks ago and it was my first time being prescribe. The sleeping pill bottle 2x is missing somehow but in the report it states i had overdose on 30 Tablets and some other benzons when i haven't and i am so angry at this i don't even do drugs it makes me look so bad in the report makes it sound like i am abusing these drugs when clearly I'm not and i know for a fact i wouldn't as i don't even do drugs for a fact! What can i do to for them to fix it ? I called the hospital they said write my request and drop it off at the hospital they will have a look, i don't understand how someone can make a mistake like this also the drs i seen when i was in hospital i repeatedly told them it was sleeping pills i overdosed on and clearly they said to me i was delirious and hallucinating from the medication i took which was the sleeping pills and wrote something totally different in the report. I just want it changed because its wrong information and its not sitting well with me because its incorrect information.

what is the name of the sleeping tablets?
maybe if you were drowsy etc they took information from empty packets or ambulance crew etc as they could.

UNISOM SLEEPING AID , I had about 2 bottles.

Maybe they just assumed they were a type of benzo, a lot of sleeping pills are. They are not going to writing sleeping pills they would write the classification they come under. Like antihistamine or anticholinergic.

so do you mean you were prescibed diazepam or some other tyoe of benzodiazepine but you didnt take any?
looks like UNISOM is an antihistamine
hope you are feeling better anyway.

I took UNISON SLEEP GEL AID. I bought them of ebay. But prior to anything that happened i was prescribe serapax 25 tablets first time by a local GP i seen because i went to see him and told him how i was feeling and he prescribe me 25 Tablets of serapax mind you i have never took any benzodiazepines before it was the first time. I'm just worried because i don't want my local GP thinking i am abusing any drugs etc i research alot about the benzons seem some people abuse it or etc me being prescribe 1 time by another local GP made it seem like i am abusing or its just that I'm unhappy with the wrong information written on the report. Hope that makes sense. smile

well if you are really worried I guess you could take the full strips of the Serapax medication you have not taken back to the GP for them to document that. In any case GPs are not inclined to prescibe benzodiazepines and usually only for about two to three days maximum.
