I am happy to be able to refute "sad but true Bob's" experience with medications in hospitals (NH). I was in Torry Pines Convelesant Hospital here in LaJolla, Ca. My experience was totally different. They did not realize that there was a difference between Sinemet and Sinemet CR so I requested the resident doctor stop by which he did and I got correct dosage for it and other medications promptly when I needed them. There are many GOOD facilities so don't please paint them with a broad brush. My hope is that my PWP friends wll have the same experience when they need help as I did. Helen J.
