The patient is a 47 year old male with complaint of chest pain. I asked the patient if he can take the medicine without water and he said yes. I placed him on a sitting position before giving the oral meds. Unfortunately, There was no available water at the area at that time so I couldnt give him water. I was also attending to other patient that's why I couldnt leave the floor. When the patient's wife arrived I asked her to buy some water for the patient. The patient is still in a good condition. But the wife made a complaint letter indicating the purpose is not to demerit someone but to improve the services of the hospital. This incident happened 3months ago and I think this is for investigation and I don't know how to defend myself. I am truly sorry for what happened.
