English term or phrase: Judgment call
A doctor is explaining to sb. what happened to a pacient of hers after she asked for a dosage that eventually put the patient into respiratory arrest:

"I made a JUDGMENT CALL on how much a dosage to give to this little girl."

And then she finds out a fake doctor gave her an adult dosage and says to him:
"My guess is you figured you could pull her out of it. After all, we were in a clinic. It was a JUDGMENT CALL. A calculated risk."

Muchas gracias a todos!

I suggest \"juicio\" as in \"a mi juicio\".

It was a judgment call .... fue una decisión en base a criterios personales/propios, un riesgo calculado.
