Last night We insisted, asked the questions, refused to give unless
it did not contain Mercury and they told us it didn't and it did.
The Pediatric ER gave my son the Td after he got bit (10 years old)
and it broke the skin. We thought it was only Tetanus that they were
giving him not diptheria too. THEY told us IT DOES NOT CONTAIN
MERCURY before giving him the injection. we asked for the insert to
record the lot #. The Shot went in and then we were given the
insert. I looked down and with in third line it read
Thrimesol a mercury dirivitive my heart went to the floor- I
couldn't move and this is where I stand now.
We neeed some HELP from anyone that has any experiences with doctors
in NJ that you've worked with that might be able to help or ANYTHING
YOU CAN OFFER.
The irony~ the doctor and nurse became very nervous and the
nurse was on the verge of tears as the doctor said "we should have
read this before giving it to him" and then they both continued to
apologize. They also said "we learned a valuable lesson tonight and
won't ever do that again (not reading the insert)".
I just stood there numb with no response!!!Why must these lessons
always be at the expense of my son who recently began to talk at
10?? We don't know the impact that previous immunizations affected
his autism (except gran mal seizures within 6 hours of them) and now
we are terrified of the unknown of what is to come. I
feel sick!!!!
Please email me at dailytrials@yahoo.com with anything and
everything you can -I am frozen with fear !!
