Posting here for traffic. Here’s the dilemma – my DP saw someone at work, call him Bob, giving someone else, call her Anna, some medication that had been prescribed for Bob. He then said that they weren’t really anti-depressants but they helped and to take them out of the box because the box had his, Bob’s name on it. My DP is now troubled. No-one of these three is anyone else’s superior. There’s no HR dept to tell. DP has emailed boss and boss has said don’t worry, Anna is fine, you’re overthinking.
If Anna is depressed and takes an inappropriate medication it could make her feel worse and she could presumably be at risk of harming herself or someone else in which case Bob’s in the shit, too, right?
But given boss is saying do nothing, nothing to see here, should DP just butt out having done all he can do?
WWYD?
I don't know any of these people I'm just trying to help DP who's obviously been disturbed by what he's seen, which was in the open by the way, at the start of a meeting, not in some dark corner.
