A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 128

Krystal continued, "Don't use your pitiful good intentions to meddle with someone's life. It's ridiculous."

The atmosphere in the conference room turned tense. What happened with Tiffany could be seen as either a big deal or a small one, depending on how one looked at it.

She hadn't given the wrong IV to a patient or anything that serious. It was during the afternoon medication rounds when she mistakenly delivered oral meds meant for the evening to the wrong bed because she misread the bed number.

The patient hadn't raised a complaint. In fact, Tiffany realized her mistake right after handing out the medication, took care of it immediately, and sincerely apologized to the patient. She was also the one who voluntarily reported the incident to the head nurse.

Honestly, the whole thing could've ended right there, but the doctors insisted on making it a bigger deal.

Melody watched as Krystal pressed the issue aggressively, and she fell silent. She wasn't good at arguing. But after a moment, she finally said, "You're right. My good intentions don't mean much when someone's life is at stake."

She paused, then added, "But I also don't think the way you're handling this is right."

She wanted to say more, but the head nurse stopped her.

Then, the head nurse began speaking slowly. "Tiffany's mistake does deserve consequences. But in that case, I should confess too. In my first year as a nurse, I was so busy that I once confused a patient's bed number."

"I once got the patient's gender wrong," someone else added.

"I gave out the wrong meds once, but I caught it right away and fixed it," another said.

"I almost left a needle on a patient's bed after giving an injection," someone chimed in.

One by one, the nurses standing around Melody started sharing their own past mistakes.

The head nurse said, "These mistakes might seem small, but yes, they can impact patients. So if the doctors are that concerned, you can fire us, too.
