I Dropped My Medicine On The Floor

She told me she needed me to count another 120.

I dropped my medicine on the floor.

Because the drug was so expensive the facility required that it be treated as a controlled substance and pills were counted daily. My doctor won t be in her office until monday morning. A bathroom floor would be a no. Rather than being annoyed that i had to count another 120 i was more curious about what she was going to do with the medication she just spilled.

If the patient had been obtunded all day and was suddenly alert enough to climb out of bed and pick some pills up off the floor then it would be significant. Working as a pharmacy technician dropping pills is a common event when you re dispensing. Two supervisory nurses in a correctional facility were counting an expensive drug used for hepatitis c sovaldi for an inmate. As the title says i had my medication bottle out to take a pill then the bottle fell out of my hand and onto the ground.

She just vomited about 10 min. Now if it s a narcotic i am on my hands and knees searching for that tiny pill. Patients usually drop them on the bedding but occasionally the floor. For me it would depend on where i dropped the pills a pharmacy is usually cleaner then a garage floor where there may be grease cat hair etc.

I don t eat food that falls on the ground and i sure as hell am not taking a pill that fell on it. The other day my pharmacist dropped a vial with an easy open cap that i had just counted and spilled 120 pills on the ground. While doing so one of them accidentally tipped over the bottle and 12 of the pills fell to the floor. I suppose if the patient was admitted for a spinal cord injury and was suddenly able to get out of bed and retrieve dropped pills off the floor it would be significant.
