Without thinking, he checked “refills” on the order. Two months later, his patient came back. She had problems with bone marrow suppression. Once the resident looked at the prescription he had Twritten, he knew the cause of her problem. He said to her, I messed up. You should have only had this for two weeks. You had it for eight weeks. This was the wrong thing for you to have had for that long. The patient looked at him. I know you’ll do your best to make it better, she said. It is a story James Johnston, professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and winner of the 2000 Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award, shares with his students.
