Then the started the infusion, after about five minutes my body went into shock ,my hole body was shaking .
Luckily the patient opposite me shouted for the doctor .
Everyone coming running ,although i couldn't see my eyes had rolled back .
Managed to tell them my chest was getting tighter ,doctor told the nurse get his angina spray and to another nurse get the crash trolley .
They got me on the bed from the chair, put me on oxygen and injected me with something .
After 20 minutes I was aware and started to came down .
They then said that they had aborted the infusion.
Lucky escape ,when I heard crash trolley thought my time was up .
Only popped on here for a quick glance before retiring to the land of nod and then I read this. Goodness Soulman, that must have been horrifying. I am glad to hear you are on the mend and had a better day today. Such a good thing you said where your medication was.

Rest and take care.
