Attention Co-Workers...

Administering meds is really simple.

All it requires is basic literacy, and arithmatic.

To use words you can understand, reading, and counting.

It's that easy.

If you mess up someone's Neurontin, they can suffer brain damage, mess up someone Clonopin, and they can die.

It's my job to find the messes you make, and account for them. This means that if you do it too many times, I can, and more importantly will get you fired.

That is all.

I'm glad that at least you are conscientious.

Three cheers for Ari!

Ick.

Ask trochai (Da5id) sometime about his experience with that. There are 2 painkillers, with very similar sounding names and appearances... the exact name escapes me at this moment. Percodan and Percocet, I think. In any case, his pharmacist gave him the wrong one- but it looked right, and the name on the bottle was correct, so he didn't realize it and took his normal dose.

And blacked out behind the wheel of his car on the freeway. Rearended someone at 45 mph...

I always inspect my pills now. However, I'm guessing most of your clients either don't have that ability or that option, as they probably want them to swallow them right away and not sit around fingering them...
