There can be many errors on discharge papers.
I used to see them all the time.
1) Often residents or interns or nurses
would fail to transcribe IV doses
To oral.
2) With antibiotics some IV forms do
Not come orally so another drug would
have to be written instead.
Hospitals are hot beds of errors!
When I had my son they made an terrible
overdose on me. Then after it was
Discontinued, brought it back at 2 am
To give again 2 days later! But I foiled that one!
