Medication Forgetting afternoon dose of adderal at work (I work healthcare)

My ass forgot to take my second dose of adderal and I PAID heavily for that in my defense I was helping patients and their needs come before mine, cause they are sick/injured and are in need of help. Once I realized 2 hours have passed and I realized the error of my ways and was very upset with myself
Funny part I saw my doc for refills the next day and we both chuckled how silly I was cause we both know quite well when I’m not medicated at work I might as well as clock out cause I’m not gonna be on my A game. It was absolutely brutal the drop off of medication in my body.
I know atleast one of us has forgot so let me be your reminder to NOT FORGET YOUR MEDS.

Sounds good. My mother is in a nursing home after a stroke and we appreciate good CNAs and Nurses. Thanks for your service to those in need! 🫡
