so I made a pair of glasses for someone and of course they couldn't see properly, so I puttered around checking everything I could think of and finally decided maybe they needed a different RX. Or at least to be examined for something going on in their eyes. A couple days later I get a very upset call from the Pt. telling me that their Dr. had checked the glasses and I had made them wrong! I had done a minus when I should have done a +. And I figured..well I guess it's possible, so I pulled out the file and.. lo and behold..the DR had writen it wrong.
What really irks me is that we deal with several docs in the area who, when they do something along those lines are really really nice about it-I've had one or two even personally call and appologise about it. I kinda want to tell the pt to try and collect the cost of new lenses...from the Dr. simply because he still won't admit that he wrote it wrong. And guess what, even after SHOWING the pt that original RX where the Dr wrote it wrong, she still doesn't believe us...
*sigh*
