I have a "new" location doing my chemo-shot.
they've done it 3 times now, and the nurse practitioner in charge of the clinic thinks he knows ALL about this very specific, very technical injection. It comes with specific instructions on WHAT TO DO and what NOT to do in the preparation. He's been less that good at following their rules, but the previous shots have at least worked part of the time.
He's been mixing and injecting this stuff COLD, when the instructions sad NOT to do that. So, this last time, he put it in HOT water. At temps over 105, it ceases to bind or to work. I had a multi-thousand dollar shot yesterday that DID NOT WORK. I have had NO pain relief, no symptom relief, nothing. The knot/lump of medicine that usually sets up in the IM gluteal injection? Not there.
The cost of this injection is enormous. The manufacturer will 'replace' a bad shot every once in a while, and the institution can figure out what to do to get it there. I won't be at home, so I will have to pay the cost of getting it to me, and then getting an RN to administer it. They'll not be happy, but then I am not happy either.
The ten bucks?? To buy this guy a pair of reading glasses at Wal-Mart, so that he CAN READ the instructions.
The video?? Well, Johnny's in the basement, mixin' up the medicine!! (more)

I went through cancer treatments for a long time 92 to 97 when they finally realized they made a mistake and I did not have leukemia. I really enjoyed 5 years of that for nothing.
Good luck.
Good luck and I hope you get home soon!

Greetings! hey, I want to tell you - you have every right to ask, request and/or demand a different tech. - I promise - I've so been there. It's your body and, even though you might not be told your rights - you certainly have them.
I've voted you a 5 - (of course) - but, what I'd like more than anything is go empower you to insist on the care you need. Most health care workers are awesome - like angels - most want to offer excellent care. The supervisor on duty can assist you -
Peace!
You have our 5!! Best of luck.
We hope you will vote for our wish.!! Thank you
