In response to your points:

1) It's pretty alarming that centers dont give staff time to educate themselves on these powerful drugs. The nurse was NOT following orders at all. Did you read my post?? First of all, Tysabri is an hour infusion. Like 99% of the time. One hour. One. That is the protocol. In rare cases they can make it longer for people that have infusion reactions, but not shorter. This is 100% the standard and anyone that knows anything about Tysabri knows that. The nurse quoted the standard as 30 minutes. Second of all, my order was for TWO HOURS because I have had a previous infusion reaction. So not only did she not know the standard protocol but she missed the mark completely by stating that it was 30 minutes. That 30 minute estimate came out of nowhere. She mixed up the time with a different drug. This is not ok.

Nurses are not cops but they are subject to liability issues and lawsuits. And encouraging a patient to leave right after the infusion is irresponsible. Can she hold me down and force me? No. But as a patient you have to sign a waiver saying you are willingly accepting any type of liability upon yourself if you leave. So
