Hospital refuses to allow doctor's prescription to be filled

Thank you.
The doctor at the hospital is the one that prescribed it. The hospital seems to have disagreed with his decision and overruled him.
Is that normal? There was no mistake or confusion, just a difference of opinion as to the best treatment.
Does the hospital really have such power?

Please speak to your prescribing doctor. Most hospitals have a Patient Relations Department or Office of Patient Experience. You can contact them to help mediate.

Good luck with getting this resolved.
