In May 2009, Kaiser Hospital perscribed VICODIN to this minor post-op. patient

Two months later,,,knowing what we are now more well aware of about the dangers of liver failure from acetaminaphen, I WOULD REFUSE TO TAKE Vicodin. "What is a better alternative, Doctor ?"

Yes, 'liver failure' was one of the 'complications/side effects' listed on the drug sheet along with a lot of other warnings, but it was not stressed enough as to how easy it was to overdose with other medications all 'jacked up' with acetaminaphen.

Would it really hurt/kill Kaiser medical Insurance plan company hospitals to ask their patients every day or every week at least, "So how is that pain relief medication working for you today?" as if they cared ??
Oh, right , these are very busy Professionals: MDs, nurses, and hospital staff,,,
