The Order Doesn't Add Up

A senior doctor wrote a dose that looks wrong — and he's already walking away

The situation

A respected attending just ordered a potassium dose that, for this patient's weight and renal numbers, looks dangerously high — and he's a physician known to bristle when questioned. The patient is stable for now but the medication is queued and the window to stop it is short. You can stay quiet and follow the order, or you can speak up the right way: verify before you accuse, escalate without making it personal, and refuse to administer if it comes to that — protecting the patient without blowing up a working relationship or the unit.
