Case summary:
Person X worked in the emergency department of a reputed hospital. The hospital had a good relationship with the patients but one incident made the life of the patient at risk.
An 8 year old child patient called Person E came with a right forearm fracture. The ED protocol states that a person must always be there with the child to take care because of diazepam sedation. The assisted doctor was working for more than 14 hours, hence, he asked the nurse to do the procedures. The nurse was a fresh graduate and is not comfortable in giving drugs and also, she does not wish to disturb the doctor.
