That is a bit of a dilemma Steph, I know that I would feel the same. Have you take your complaint further? Hope that you're both ok! When are his next injections due? xx

hi steph
i'm sure if i was in your position i'd be hesitant to, but from an outsiders point of view i just wanted to say that the risk of it happening again i'd say is very low given that you can be more vigilant. make sure you get the nurse to show you the things before she does it. perhaps even ask if there is another nurse or a dr available to double check and put your mind at rest. that, in my opinion, is the least they can do. i think, for me, i wouldnt want to risk him getting the illnesses the injections are protecting him against as the complications of those can be very serious. i doubt very much that the surgery would want to make the mistake of getting it wrong again.
