Emedinews: Makesure: A patient after receiving 40 units of insulin developed severe hypoglycemia.


Situation: A patient after receiving 40 units of insulin developed severe hypoglycemia.
Reaction: Oh my God! The order was 4 units.
Lesson: Make sure that 4 unit is not written as 4.0 units as it may be read incorrectly as 40.
