Another question for Belgium Surfacehippies

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

What did you do about bringing prescription (and OTC) medications with you to

the hospital? I'm a hospital pharmacist, so I know that here we strongly prefer

that patients use the hospital supply. Hospitals don't want the legal liability

of having their employees administer medications of questionable origin. We may

(and almost certainly do) have some medications that are unavailable in Belgium,

and visa versa.

Hi ,

I took along the medication I was taking at the time (Vicodin), and

the folks at the hospital did not inquire about it nor about where I

had purchased it. Fortunately, I stopped taking them the day of the

operation and have not needed one since.

Best of luck to you; you have made an excellent choice in Dr. De Smet

and the staff at the Jan Palfijn Hospital.
