My only flu shot was also forced on me by the Navy. They lined us up and gave us the Swine flu shots regular Americans were afraid to take.
Sally from the Microsoft desktop support office who left Pakistan to work in the medical field.
Who were the Medical Assistants? They often help set things up for the Doctor or the Nurse Practitioner.
Heads should be rolling, but they probably won’t.
“...graduate of a Math & Science academy.”
Depends upon how many units were administered, and what the victims’ BSLs were at the time.
Insulin lowers BSL (blood sugar level); therefore they’d probably have a hypoglycemic event. It’s bad; I’ve been thru 5 since May 1st, when I was first diagnosed.
I take 4-8 units of Novolog (quick acting, short lasting) at breakfast/lunch/dinner on a sliding BSL scale after blood test, and 8 units of Lantus (slow acting, long lasting) at bedtime, also on a sliding BSL scale.
Sucks to be me.
Med techs have no license to be able to give shots
Beyond their scope of practice. If thats what happened someones head should roll
Exactly!
She was probably skipping the day when they covered Always read the vial part.
Here in Michigan if theyre trained or In-Serviced on giving a flu vaccine they work under either the Docs license or whoever trained them, RN, LPN, P.A.
Still like you said, someone is in trouble.
I’ll try to remember this incident and not get annoyed when the third person asks me my name, DOB, and what procedure I am in for today.
You have to watch out for your own self - but who the heck reads the writing on the shot they are giving you?
My daughter, now 21, was 9 when diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She’s on Humalog and Lantus.
As a loving father, I can understand, if not really walk in your shoes.
At least the girl will never have tattoos, unlike a lot of her friends. She gets poked with needles enough.
I get it if they are licensed phlebotomists
Apparently state laws vary greatly
Just giving a shot (ie the mechanics of it) is no big deal. The big deal is the proper procedure....which would have meant checking the vial and checking the order and checking again.
Somebody handed out vials and said give em.... just stupid
I was diagnosed w/ Type 1, at 69, back in May after a 2yr battle w/ severe-acute Pancreatitis, which went sideways.
God Bless your Daughter and You.
You have FRMail.
shots are given by anyone who has been certified. Look at the pharmacies techs and the med assistants who are giving shots in pharmaicies and dr offices.
The shots were administered by a pharmacist who has been in practice for 40 years, police said, KOTV reports.

WTH?!
Something similar just happened a few weeks ago at a local school in Indianapolis where kids were supposed to be getting tuberculosis tests but instead got injected with insulin and the school nurse tried to cover it up.
Seems like an odd coincidence.
So a 70 year old
They got the shots in a Rx by a pharmacist, a very old one.
Didn’t that happen in a Wonderful Life too?
Rat poison instead of insulin.
Bailey was never born so he didn’t stop the pharmacist.
