Visited the hospital after midnight for an urgency...

Visited the hospital after midnight for an urgency due to an infection. I was given one page to fill in my personal details, medication and sicknesses. I take no medication but in the field of sicknesses I filled in the name of the enzyme deficiency I have, which requires certain medication to be forbidden. The doctor nevertheless just prescribed a forbidden medication to me, and thankfully this was noticed by the pharmacist who took half an hour to call the doctor, explain and decide for an alternative. If I had taken the wrong medication, I could have undergone hemolysis ( basically spontaneous destruction of red blood cells) resulting to icterus which can be fatal.
