A member asked:
What do you suggest if my friend has perforated appendicitis and she said they gave her antibiotics but doesnt know the name?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No issue: Not sure if there is any issue. Certainly if she wishes to know, she could just ask her doctor or nurse in the hospital. If she is already home, her doctor can investigate this for her. Some hospitals have an internet portal where the records can be viewed.
