Me and my usual carelessness. I should have known better and should have done the three checks before giving Yumi Ascof Lagundi. I should have checked the label and dosage while taking out the medicine, preparing it and then before administering it. She's just 3 years old and she should have been taking around 3ml of it but instead, for the past 3 days I gave her 8ml. Good thing that lagundi is all natural but the OD has given her a diarrhea. How can I make a crucial mistake on a child? We were always taught to be always careful in giving medications especially if they are children or the elderly.
Poor Yumi...I'm deeply sorry. Being a pediatrician is out of my list. I don't want to become one. I hate making crucial mistakes on innocent ones.
