Q: My mom was given to much medication in the ER and nothing was charted what are our options

We took her in due to a rash and they gave her 3 times the amount of epinephrine and the nurse who administered the med did not chart the incident, we are getting no where with the hospital. she now has trouble with shaking hands and complains that her stomache feels shakey all the time. we have tried to talk with the hospital to get this information for her primary doctor to have verifaction and we are not being given the records because they are not complete. nothing was recorded and the nurse admitted the med error to myself, my mom and my sister.
