When my Dad was in the hospital, my niece was curious about the iv meds he was on. When she looked at the labels, one of the meds didn't have my Dad's name on it....it was for another patient.
Thank goodness he was ok.....no reaction.
OMG, that's BIG. When my son was in the hospital as a newborn, the nurse used a little disposable heat pack on his foot to help get a good blood draw. Then she threw it away. A few moments later same nurse comes in, gets that out of the garbage and was preparing to use it on the child in the next bed - until my husband spoke up in shock and appall. We didn't see her again.
