So for background; I have a drug delivery device implanted in my stomach/abdomen. It delivers medication that loosens my muscles. Tonight I was out grabbing some dinner with my coworker and decide to order a beer, the waitress asked if I wanted a tall glass, and without thinking I say yes. (It had been a long day and I was ready for bed) I thought I specified that I wanted the nonalcoholic version of the beer, but apparently not. (I cannot have alcohol as it may interact with the drug delivery device, i could end up in the hospital.)
It clicks in my coworkers head as our waitress is putting the order in the POS system, and she yells “no wait!” Fortunately we got that sorted and I ended up with the correct beer, and my coworker did not have to drive me to the ER.
TL;DR: I almost drank an alcoholic beer which would’ve probably landed me in the hospital, but my coworker caught my mistake; and no one ended up in the hospital.
