work ethic

A patient with cold was prescribed suppositories for fever.
He asked me if he could get powder medicine instead of suppositories.

I said it was impossible.
Because I wanted to catch the last bus.

If I had had time, I would have called the doctor and asked to change the prescription.

No, I should have done it even if I didn't have time.
Patients come first.
That's what I should always keep in mind.

I feel so bad about this now.
