I was very surprised, shocked actually, when someone from my doctor's office called me this morning to tell me that based on the latest of my routine blood tests, I should continue the same dose of Coumadin. I have never taken Coumadin (warfarin), not even once, not ever, nor has anyone ever suggested that I take it; indeed this drug would be very inappropriate for me to take - could even kill me, and obviously, I don't have routine blood tests to see how it's working. So what happened here? Did they have me confused with another patient? Not at all! The computer software changed "quinidine sulfate" to Coumadin, (I know the doctor entered it correctly because I watched him do it yesterday when he was correcting the dosage instructions, which the computer had wrong), and once this bogus information is in the computer everybody thinks it's correct, it's very hard to change. They don't keep paper charts, but rely entirely on the computer - and the computer lies, and even made up a new diagnosis for me - one to go along with the Coumadin that I don't take. In my case, the doctor's office would not correct my information until they had called my pharmacy to verify that they, the doctor's office, had not been ordering Coumadin for me for the last I -don't -know how many years.Yes, that's what happened; the doctor's office called my pharmacist to find out what medications they had and had not been ordering for me. If the computer software made this mistake with my meds and diagnoses, I'm sure it happens with other people. It's one thing for Google to make guesses about what a person is looking for, but now they have computer software that changes people's medications and makes up new diagnoses for them. So what happens if someone is in an accident, is taken to the hospital unconscious - the hospital accesses the person's "medical records" and kills the person with inappropriate doses of the wrong medications. Business as usual, I guess! WSU LUG posted a photo:
