Luckily I Ran The Wrong Test

A few months ago, I accidentally ran a creatinine test on a patient when a comp metabolic wasn’t ordered. It turns out that the guy was in renal failure, and no one knew. He was about to go in for surgery, but I got the results just in-time to stop them from putting him under.

Shit could have been messy. I’m glad I screwed up, and I’m sure he has no idea that he could have died.
