It was another really busy day at work. Most days are.....
The cook was singing a Bee Gee song this morning. She's Jamaican.So she sang it with a
Jamaican accent. I enjoyed it.....even sang along......
Ihave a patient who was started on a new medication for his kidneys. The pharmacy sent a dose 5 times higher than what was ordered.......and then they labeled it to give 2 of the pills at one time which would have been ten times higher dose...... The patient was not given the med. Because I was paying attention. I called the pharmacy and told the pharmacy tech. what they had done.......few minutes later the pharmacist called and thanked me for catching the error. I'm grateful I didn't give the med..................makes me sick to think of it......

Good catch, now maybe that patient can die from some other cause. :-)
