Pharmacy “Error” covered by local News
August 3, 2007
A CVS in Oklahoma City sent a man home with someone else’s medication. The man noticed the name on the vial before taking the pills, and immeidatley called the Pharmacy to notify them of the mix-up.
This has happened before. He went one step further and contacted the local media. I assume, that on the coat tails of the infamous 20/20 report, the local NBC affiliate KFOR covered the story. While any error of any magnitude is unacceptable, some thing happen. Seeing as how he did not take the medicine, this becomes more of a Privacy (HIPPA) issue. Once agian, the media fails to inform us with more viatal informationt to judege if this is an error that should cost this sore our business.
