Title	Medical Misadministration for Thyroid Treatment
Event Description	A female patient went to the St Joseph Health Center for medical treatment on her thyroid. The treatment prescribed for this patient was 15 microCuries I-131 uptake, and 5 milliCuries I-131 therapy. The technician did not follow procedure and administered only the 5 milliCuries I-131 therapy dose. The 15 microCuries I-131 uptake dose was not administered. The licensee talked to the patient and her physician about the misadministration and the doctor said he will evaluate the patient to see if any more thyroid treatments are required. This misadministration did not physically harm the patient. The RSO was notified and will be following up with a written report.
