a few weeks ago we had a super busy day with scripts and i think i went into ‘autopilot’ because i don’t remember it happening, but i handed out the wrong prescription to someone (before you get mad, i only started a few weeks ago and i’m a junior assistant), out of all people i could’ve given the wrong medication to, it was a blind person. i have severe anxiety already and want to know some tactics to go back to work without guilt? i take guilt very heavy and struggle to get past it all

Create a routine for yourself. Write down everything you need to verify at pickup, put it in the order that makes sense to you and works with the register prompts, and do it that way every. single. time. Put it on a post- it at the register if you need to until it becomes habit.

These are great suggestions. If you’ve been a pharmacist long enough you will have at least one near miss. Aim for zero harm. Know that the systems you work with should be designed to catch human error and if one got through, analyze how it failed and design a fix for your work environment. For example, two sets of eyes on every Rx before dispense. If you are working alone, find a way to take a fresh look at that Rx. Ideally for me, I check off on the Rx each element as I check it. The ‘systematic’ check is needed bc you will be interrupted and this will get you back on track.

Hang in there!

Write Din last 4 numbers..every rx

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs. We got poor results at our current clinic and, happens that our clinic is rated lower on SART website. Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.
