We can fax a release to the Hospital in just a few minutes for you to sign. You can plead with the ER doctor to do more test. You may also tell them that you will be calling the "On call Meningitis Advocate" to make a report. This statement will let them know that you are making a report that they may not be following the standard of care.
Remember you can go to another Hospital and seek treatment. If that is the case you may not want to tell the new Hospital that you just came from another hospital. |
