Dancel-Baluyot, Angela Maureen O. Dent 101 2015-46040 Reflection Paper In the news article published last August 1, 2014 entitled “Jenn’s vision: A true lesson in best practices’, a patient named Jenn went to her dentist to have her root canal treatment but an adverse event happened wherein the dentist accidentally dropped the needle of the syringe he was using on the right eye of his patient, Jenn, Because of this, she was “admitted to the hospital for a three-day course of in-patient ant jotics and washouts” because it turns out that the needle that poked her eye was contaminated by streptococcus bacteria, After many medical procedures done to save her eye and her eyesight, the doctors have made their decision to remove her lens because the infection “had led her retina to be completely detached” and they knew that the chance for Jenn’s eyesight to return was unlikely (Kelsch, 2014} An adverse eventlike this was caused by human fallibility. According to the said article, after injecting the anesthesia to Jenn, He passed the uncapped syringe to his assistant above the face of the patient instead of away from the face of the patient which can be prevented if he and his team only remembered the right protocol of passing the syringe from one person to another. An event like this can be prevented by recognizing and learning from their mistake by identifying the root problem and solving it rather than blaming and shaming the dentist. Reference: Kelsch, N.
