In cases of wrong medication, I wonder if its a mislabeling or someone just not reading? Maybe a doctor writing the wrong thing down?

  You are missing the forest by looking at the trees. You need a foolproof way to determine 2 tests: 1. Is the contents of the bottle what I think (or the label says, or the nurse told me) it is? 2. Is the verified contest of the bottle what we previously agreed this patient needs?

    1a. Is the concentration of the solution is this bottle as high or as low as I think?

    Read "The Checklist Manifesto" by Atul Gawande. Chock full of tiny, easy steps like this that make huge differences in outcomes.
