Mr. Patrick Wallace was recently started on a blood pressure medication to treat his new diagnosis of hypertension (high blood p

ressure). He returns to see his doctor to make sure the new medication is working. The office has recently hired a new medical assistant named Meredith. Meredith is having a hard time with the procedure, and so she looks at Mr. Wallace’s past few blood pressure (BP) results and assumes that it is probably about the same (Meredith is unaware of the most recent medication that was prescribed for high blood pressure). The doctor comes into the exam room and reviews Mr. Wallace’s vital signs and medications. The doctor decides that, based on today’s results, the blood pressure medication dose is not effective, and increases the dose. About two days after starting the new dose of medication, Mr. Wallace gets out of bed in the morning and becomes very dizzy and passes out. His wife frantically calls 911 and Mr. Wallace is taken to the ER, and his blood pressure is dangerously low. His doctor sees him in the ER and determines that his medication strength is too high and lowers it to his previous dose. Now Mr. Wallace has an expensive ambulance bill, and an ER bill, and has pain in his hip from the fall.

My assumption is that Meredith did not document the blood pressure since she couldn't do the procedure and wrote down the same numbers as his last visit.

So Meredith has a problem with using instruments and the doctor doesn't know it. Mrs. Might file a complaint or get a lawyer for malpractice.

As the hospital does a risk management regarding this medication error, they may find out what happened. I don't think so, since Meredith did not document a true reading and the doctor didn't double check it.

english--I learned that Jericho was Stripped of his clothes and then beated almost dead. Then a priest was coming down that road and he saw him and went a different way so that he doesn't have to deal with the guy. Then  a Levite who was walking by that place, saw him and also made a detour and ignored Jericho. While a Samaritan who walked that way came to him, and when he saw him he helped him. He was nice he wanted to help. He bandaged his wounds and poured oil and wine to kill the infection. Then he helped him up and put him onto his horse and they road back to an inn. Then he got a reward for his kindness.

Spanish--Supe que Jericho fue despojado de su ropa y luego golpeado casi hasta morir. Luego, un sacerdote venía por ese camino y lo vio y tomó un camino diferente para no tener que lidiar con el tipo. Entonces un levita que pasaba por ese lugar, lo vio y también se desvió e ignoró a Jericó. Mientras que un samaritano que caminaba por ese camino se le acercó, y cuando lo vio lo ayudó. Era agradable, quería ayudar. Se vendó las heridas y vertió aceite y vino para matar la infección. Luego lo ayudó a levantarse y lo subió a su caballo y regresaron a una posada. Luego recibió una recompensa por su amabilidad.
