When I left my Louisville pharmacy after refilling a prescription, I checked the medication. It looked different than last month’s pills, so I went back and asked the pharmacist about it. The name of the pill I received is similar to the one I have been taking, but it is used to treat a completely different condition. I don’t want to get anyone in trouble, but I feel as though I have an obligation to report this event so that other people aren’t harmed by the same mistake. What should I do?
You’re right: you really must report the error. If it happened to you, it may happen to someone else, and he or she might not...
