Has Your Child's Doctor Ever....

Prescribed the wrong medicine? Is this a forgivable offense? We were in the office yesterday and my baby has thrush along with diaper yeast infection. The doctor told me to get lotrimin for his rash and that he would prescribe something for the thrush in his mouth. It was oral nystatin. Well, I picked up the prescription and luckily I read everything over and over and it was the nystatin ointment for skin. So he prescribed the right medicine but the wrong form...I just keep thinking what if I was someone who didn't double, triple check...
