What to do about my sister and my daughter

A pertinent question would be to ask, respectfully, how often you are in an ambulance, on your way to hospital, if you don't mind saying?

Also, what medical issues do you have? (Sorry, that was two questions, I know)

Why do you think your daughter seems to believe your sister? It’s really all about you and your daughter isn’t it?

I am truly distraught over this.
My daughter came to see me yesterday, with some complaints. Some are justified. She is fed up with me calling her when I am in an ambulance on my way to hospital. She says I am 'crying wolf' when there is nothing much wrong with me.

She also said I was a 'drug addict ' and that I needed therapy.

I know that she has been talking to my sister, because my sister has previously called me a drug addict and said that I need therapy.

I am convinced that my daughter is only repeating what my sister has told her.

For context: I accidentally overdosed on a prescription medication. That does not make me a drug addict.

I am furious with my sister for messing up my relationship with my daughter.

I am tempted to call my sister and have it out with her.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
