| Fentanyl patches
I am the father of a young girl 22 with two children I want to relate my story so others may avoid what I have gone through. My daughter came to my home with her kids fell and broke her leg after over 2 years of MISTREATMENT she was forced to go in and have her leg amputated. She was in a {removed} for about two weeks was then released with two 75 micro gram Fentenyl patches, she went to sleep after a visit from home health care nurses and a very good dinner and when 6.00am came we her mother and I found her deceased in her bed. She was on Fentenyl patches for a couple of years and I saw her very hi and very low, she had very dry skin and I believe that depending on her skin she would obsorb more and other times less however this time the patches we recalled. The recall came to us on 02/15/04 she lost her life on the night before. I could get no legal representation from anyone or help from anyone her death certificate shows she had nearly double the amount to kill a person. My advice to anyone using Fentenyl patches is get off of them because the only oversite at the company making them is a visual inspection for my daughter it is too late but for others you need to know that they can kill you before you have any idea anything is wrong and it is OK it seems with the medical, legal and manufacturing people to loose a few but it makes no sense to me to put on a patch that may or may not be delivering the correct amount of medicine. Just immagine to fight a broken leg for two years and have 6 seperate infections in the leg and the only things the docs do is cover their buts. In my opinion the FDA (whom we all know protects us ) ha needs to remove these pain patches from the market I have used them myself and I know they work until you need to get off of them I went Cold Turkey and it took over a month sheer heck. I was lucky tho I kept my life but I am now raising two grandchildren when I thought I was finished raising kids. I just have to let other people know. Blueram
