Glued the kid's eye shut.
Hmm, in our town we had a fully qualified nurse gave a 7 yr old an injection that went right through and into the nurse. Turns out the nurse was HIV positive and giving fucking injections.
The boy's eye will unstick in a couple days, the girl here will have to be tested a couple times a year for a decade, and might end up with AIDS.
How about the Prince George hospital that rammed improperly cleaned scopes up the ass of 10,000 people? That's how many notices they had to send out to get checked for HIV and HepC...

And then there are the quacks that let the secretary loose with the crazy glue.

I've had doctors screw up while working on me and another almost kill my mother due to mixing the wrong medications.

Doctors make far more mistakes than receptionists.

On the glue, it's really not a big deal. It does make for a good story in the media, however.

Ain't that the truth, years ago I got a piece of steel in my right eye, had it removed at RCH Emergency Ward at about 1:00 am Monday. The doc said I had to come back the next day to have their head ophthalmologist check it out. He checked it out and found some rust on the eyeball that had to be removed. He got everything together and promptly headed toward my left eye with a small grinder. Just before he started to grind away I had to stop him and tell him.....It's the other eye doc!!!! This was right after he had spent a couple minutes checking out the right eye.
