Why Is Librium Prescribed By A Doctor?
Why would a doctor subscribe me librium as an in patient when a blood test was don. and my ethanol level was 22.3 mg / DL. I was admitted to the hospital from the ER, with multiple fractures in my left leg beneath the knee cap. Tibia and tib/fib surgery needed. Fell at home, sober as a judge. Let me know if you can come up with some kind of explanation. Thank you. Paul Schimmelbusch
