This kind of thing doesn't happen often Alex, and it's not meant to be a horror story, just a warning of the dangers of not making sure you are giving the drugs to the correct patient. In the past I have myself shouted a name, lets say "John Smith" and some guy has said "yes, that's me". I have then said "John Smith of 1 High Street" and the guy has said "yes, that's me". The same guy returned an hour later shouting at me saying "why have you given me John Smith's tablets, when I'm David Jones!" I don't know why, but people will often answer to the wrong name. That's why you should always ask them to confirm their address to you, and not just give it and wait for a "yes".
As for relaxation, that's what your days off are for! I'd suggest golf, fish and pop concerts for starters! Also maybe start a little computer hobby, like a forum, so you can get it all off your chest!
