So We Just Gon Pretend Like That Didnt Happen?

So, almost 2 weeks ago, I was in the ER with a bad asthma attack and the nurse said she was putting some magnesium in my iv.  Almost immediately (like within 60 seconds) I told her I felt like I was about to pass out..my eyes started rolling around in my head like a pinball machine literally..I could feel them.  And I swear on my children..it felt like my head swelled up to the size of a watermelon and was still swelling...She threw the bars up on the stretcher and started screaming for help and started yelling some codes.  A bunch of people rushed in.  My head was spinning so hard inside, I could hear it..it was painful...I had people holding my body down on the stretcher because I was jerking up off of it.  I just kept screaming that something didn't feel right and I didnt like how it felt..it felt like when I had my stroke before.  I honestly thought I was dying on the table.  I heard them say they were going to give me 2 medications thru my iv which should help.  And then, my body just got really heavy..my head was super heavy..I couldn't control my eyes from rolling around in my head though...they just kept doing it.  And then all of a sudden, my whole face, my hands and my feet all started having severe what do you call it...that pin prickly feeling?  Super painful.  like from the forearms down to my fingertips.  I kept telling them that, but then all of a sudden, my tongue felt very swollen, and I could not speak any longer.  It felt like my tongue was too thick.  My head still felt swollen.  I just laid there like that...just DRAINED and in pain for probably over an hour.  The nurse says to me that my body was just tired from fighting to breathe for so long and had a reaction :/  

So, two days later, I'm still inpatient and wondering why they still havent done any sort of testing, questioning, etc, so I'm talking to the Dr on the floor before I leave, to follow upon it and see if I  need to have some neuro testing or what...and the Dr is like HUH?  There was ZERO mention of any of the entire incident in my chart.  Nothing.  Okay..Sooooo....we just gon pretend that it didnt happen?  Nurse didnt make one notation about any of it.  The possible seizure ( I had epilepsy as a child up until my early adulthood and then again during each pregnancy..I know what seizures can look like) or reaction to something that was possibly erroneously injected into the iv...never mentioned. *shrug*  I guess I'll never know
