Q: I had an adverse reaction to a spinal steroid injection. The ED,MH Doctors +screeners were informed of the date + Doctor
I informed them of recent less severe similar reactions to oral steroids I had even brought myself for evaluation 3 times prior only to be sent home. I explained the previous symptoms and provided the date and Doctor’s name (which was all in my chart). Not one MH Doctor, ED Doctor or MH screener called the Doctor who injected me, poison control or their own pharmacy. The MH screener lied stating “his wife said he may have thrown his meds out/he may have had a gun” both statements my wife will testify in court are false/made up. The MH Doctor who spent only 15 minutes assessing me (but lied in regards to 1 hour insurance certification) literally cut and pasted the MH false statements to have me involuntarily committed. I spoke with the Doctor who injected the steroids, he stated all though not common adverse reactions like mine are not rare. I feel I was falsely imprisoned, NJ 2C laws in addition to my 2nd amendment rights have been violated. X-RN
