I failed to get a secondary medical opion on a legal case here.  I discovered my lapse when it became a public issue and the Director started asking for the documentation we had on hand to help with her response(s).  This had the potential to hurt us not only in the public eye, but in our pocket book (to the tune of millions) so it was a big deal.  As soon as I realised what had happened, I went to my supervisor, explained the mistake, and what I was doing to keep one like that from happening again.  This information was then sent on to the Director.  I ended up getting my hand slapped, figuratively, and definitely was harder on myself for this lapse than either of my supervisors were.  It was never mentioned again after that initial discussion and "punishment" and doesn't appear to be remembered by anyone other than myself.  Luckily I learned that there was a missing report in my tracking log on this case and not one that did end up costing us money... that would have been even worse.
