Bringing your own prescription when admitted to hospital

Hi patientO, when I have been admitted to hospital I have always been put on the TP floor, they r more on the ball with TP protocol. I am sorry to hear that u r trying to do what you have been instructed to do by your TP team and they seem not to care.
My understanding from my TP team u do have a window of time if you have forgotten or in your case not given your meds at the same time u have been instructed to do. This is not something that is routine of course, but a just in case u have gotten off track for reasons out of your control.
You r a great caregiver to your husband I can tell😊💚
Good luck and hope your husband gets home soon.

Not all hospitals have a transplant floor. Perhaps the ICU unit would be a good place to land, then?
There have been a few times when my husband didn't have his meds at the time we have set for morning/evening doses. Now, I keep two doses in my car, he keeps 2 doses in his truck, and we rotate them through every two weeks, into the daily pill boxes. Likewise, we keep my meds in the vehicles "just in case" Usually, we are worried only about the Rx meds, not the over-the-counter unless they are critical ones.
