Incorrect injection
Yall I am so devastated! I have waited so long to get wegovy. In previous years insurance didn’t cover and I couldn’t afford self pay. FINALLY, I have wonderful insurance that covered this medication and I was only responsible for $24.99 (yes 24 dollars and 99 cents) for a whole month supply!
I picked it up this afternoon but decided to wait until later in the night before I go to bed, just in case I get nauseas and hopefully being asleep would help. Well shortly after dinner I decided to “pull the trigger” literally and figuratively lol. Unfortunately….even with 13 yrs experience in the medical field and while actively reading the instructions…I injected backwards!!! I pricked my thumb and immediately aborted mission because, well that wasn’t right, and watched the entire dose spray across my dining room. I don’t know what happened or why it went how it did but, I’m now down an injection before even starting!!!! Either 13 years as a medical assistant, pure nervous excitement , God laughing on his throne in disapproval or the universe playing joke on me resulted in a loss of a full injection pen. Now I have to wait another week before I can start to prevent a lapse in treatment between refills. WTF?!? Am I alone here? I’m so upset with myself!!!
