Its actually very easy to mix the two up. It is rare to see a T2 prescription and if you have ever read a physicians handwriting you will agree that a 2 can look like a 3 or pretty much whatever you want it to be.
The fact that he asked and the person said it was the same is negligence. Although the harm from the swap is negligible, the person should feel free to report the issue to the

One issue may not have much repercussion but if this occurs daily or weekly then it indicates a greater issue that must be resolved.
