Edward Hospital

Doctor: Linda E Mueller, Md

ER Doctor Didn't Even Look at LIst of Medications I Was Already Taking When Prescribing Me Two

Hospital Complaint About: Edward Hospital - Linda E Mueller, Md

Doctor Complaint: Linda E Mueller, Md - Edward Hospital

On 5-13-08, Dr. Linda E Mueller, a rather absent-minded Emergency Room physician prescribed me Vicodin (that contains Tylenol) even though I had just spent a half hour telling a nurse all the meds I took (which included 4 grams of Tylenol a day, the maximum dose) for about a half hour that she inputted into their computer. My pharmacist told me this would have killed me in 2 weeks.

In addition, Dr. Linda E. Mueller prescribed me some Flexeril, a muscle relaxer when I was already taking the maximum Dose 36mg total, of Zanaflex, another muscle relaxer.

She obviously made a big mistake with these the prescribing of both of these prescriptions.

This is in my opinion malpractice. I was smart enough to educate myself on medications and ask for a second opinion with my doctor's nurse and talk to my pharmacist about these 2 prescriptions to my pharmacist.

I complained to Pam Davis CEO of Edward Hospital and the Dr. Scaletta, the ER Director (who I hear are married) and they said they would "bring it up at a grievance committee." I'm just wonder if the redness from the slap on the wrist she got was examined at the same incompetent hospital that she works for and why she got away scott free with this. If it had been another patient, she could have done damage.

If anyone knows the proper agency to file a formal complaint, please let me know or forward this additional complaint.

My co-worker was a victim of malpractice from Edward Hospital. When he tried to take them to court, his lawyer told him that Doctors in Dupage county would not stand in witness against their fellow doctors to justify their screw-ups. Unless your case is so obvious that dont need justification then it's a win situation. Otherwise, these SOBs always find the loopholes. So my advice if you need something done, keep away from Dupage doctors.
