I was hospitalized for schizoaffective disorder and given a high dose of liquid medication every night to knock me out. I can’t remember the name of it but I think it originated in Spain. Google isn’t helping me and probably now thinks I am trying to smuggle drugs into the US. Lol.
Contacting the hospital is way more effective than asking random strangers online for a best guess based on vague details. Just sayin’
Would be easier if in the two years I lived there I would’ve learned enough French.
One would think two years is enough to pick up a bit of the local language.
Two years certainly could be enough, but it really depends what the environment. If OP, like many English speakers who live in France for a couple of years, was teaching English, or studying in an English speaking postgraduate course, and then socialising with a mix of people from different places, who all use English as their shared language… It can be pretty easy to miss out on a lot of immersion.
And the level of language to comfortably phone up a hospital, explain a slightly odd request and be bounced around different departments with the administration… I know plenty of native French speakers who would avoid doing that.
I can’t remember the name
No problem. Here at Lemmy, we are quite good at guessing.
I start: “Aaa”
Next one, please.
Thank you so much that was exactly the answer I needed. Also need help with pooping.
Presumably there’s a record of the medication, given that someone had to pay for it.
Lol, European records aren’t about payment, but patient care. The records undoubtedly show what was taken but the financial records may not. The fee may have been a standard fee for medication or free. It might be different for a non resident receiving care too, but likely the internal records would be the same.
Don’t know about the Spain part, but midazolam is the most commonly used sedative in French ICUs per https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3751696/ .
Midazolam might have been called by the brand names Versed or Dormicum.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyamemazine this definitely makes more sense than midazolam
