Being dissatisfied with your job and having poor relations with your co-workers and the doctors is no excuse to give a patient the wrong meds.
These nurses are highly trained professionals. It's time they acted like it.
And you never make mistakes in stressful situations? They're human beings, lily, and so are you.
Some mistakes are costlier than others, hurley.
It's not the mistakes I'm commenting on though... it's the "excuses" given.
There's a difference between reasons and excuses. These are the former, not the latter.
If we want a medical system with a low error rate, we've got to be prepared to pay for the necessary levels of staffing, support, and job security.

If those mistakes can be attributed to the poor staffing created by Klein's cutbacks, or his lack of restraint on our explosive growth, then yea, they're his fault.

Some of the technology available to eliminate medication errors are held up by those very same people who make the errors. They don't want to change and can make a big enough fuss that it halts the progress. I've seen it happen with this very same issue.

The medical profession in Alberta secretly liked Klein's cutbacks, it allowed them to replace the word incompetence with cutback
