okay... I work in an allergy clinic. With allergy shots people have specific schedules. Most of our patients get Sched E with vial 5...
Anyway, I drew up someones shots and I automatically assumed sched E so I drew up 0.25... well the patient looked at it weird and said No 0.3 I'm on Sched D. It confused me and I was like okay its .3 but I gave him the 0.25 shot so it was less then he was supposed to get. Well after he left the room I realized what I did so I called him back and I apologised and said "I'm sorry, you were right and I need to give you 0.05 to equal up your shot so you aren't off sched" Looking back he didn't seem upset or anything and I think he tried to joke with me but when you're mad at yourself things just always seem negative, right??
Well this was Monday and its been on my mind since. I have had a hard time sleeping because I'm really still upset with myself and worried. Tomorrow is allergy day and he will be in again for a shot. I told most of the people I work with what happened.
I feel bad because I don't want him to think that I lied to him.
People at work said not to worry because I said I was wrong and did the right thing. I'm still just so sick about it. What do you think?
