Well that’s Howard Quayle sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was admitted and asked about allergies I told them about penicillin. I was treated and released two days later. Shortly after I had a relapse and was taken back in. I was asked again about allergies. I mentioned the fact that I had been in two days earlier and that I was still allergic to penicillin. The nurse said "we can't remember everything" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no matter how "fool proof" you make a system, there is still a human element involved. Mistakes will happen, which when it comes to health care, people don't want to hear but that is the reality of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the knowledge that I had been admitted two days earlier there was no excuse not to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that will solve nothing. The fact is, a mistake was made by someone, and luckily it was noticed and hopefully rectified before there was any serious repercussions. It happens.

ballaughbiker Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You don't have to remember stuff like allergies and medical history. That's one of the functions of patient's records. However asking each time is a reasonable belt and braces approach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
