People are human, they all make mistakes right? What if those mistakes are the ones that kill someone you love. In the United States there are over one million medication errors a year.
I read some stories about medication errors which could have easily been avoided. Michael Blankenship was a 15 year old autistic boy. He was going to the hospital for a routine dental appointment. They gave him a Fentanyl patch for his pain. Not only was he supposed to not be given the patch, but they overdosed him on it as well. Fentanyl is a pain medication commonly used with people who have cancer, not someone getting a tooth removed. Michael died in his sleep that same night.
What about other people that went through this?
Here's another story about a man everyone knows about, Dennis Quaid.
Dennis and his wife had 5 miscarriages before they decided on a serogate mother, a woman who will carry their baby made with their own eggs and sperm. It succceeded and they were blessed with twins. Their twins were supposed to be given only 10 units of the infant Heparin, which is a blood thinner for children. Instead they were both given 10,000 units of the adult Heparin. The babies were bleeding out but the nurses did not tell the parents until the next day.
They called the hospital to check on the babies an were told everything was fine. That was a lie and they weren't tole until the nest day what had happened.
