Also this point is not correct (at least not on the medical floor where i work at TVRH). The specialist may (and usually does) rx some meds but the PCP is always the one who approves/disapproves of your home meds continuing while in the hospital. And some people have a laundry list of meds from home! They quite often also rx new meds. And the PCP will often direct the instructions for care as well as the specialist.
