Yes - we had a similar situation.  The MUI was substantiated and I appealed the findings in the investigation by submitting fact sheets on each drug that the individual was taking.  The drug fact sheets did NOT state to call 911 or to induce vomiting if a dose was missed, all it said was to take the next dose at it's normal scheduled time.  There was no negative outcome nor was there a health and safety risk to the individual.

However, we were not told to call the police.

We won the appeal.  :  )
