I dont want anyone to lose their job, but if was a nurse error, there would be prison time.

After the second one, they should’ve stopped all surgery for the day and had an investigation before anybody else went under

But if it’s a doctor, there will be no reporting, but if it was a nurse, we would be hanging from a door frame. I cannot wait to retire.

Hospital Pharmacist here: can you explain? Are you saying pharmacy dispensed KCL instead of bupiv 9x in one day?!

For anyone asking a sentinel event is when someone passes or will suffer long term damage from something unnatural in a healthcare setting. Also, potassium can send people into cardiac arrest or worse

I watched a surgeon go to work drunk every day for 3 years without consequence, and they were covering for him when he removed 15 inches *too much* of someone's intestine. So if it was a physician nothing surprises me anymore.

“What do you think are the chances are a hospital would do the right thing…” ZERO. Could have stopped right there.

It doesn't really matter if pharmacy sent down potassium. It's up to the person giving the drug to check what it is in the vial. the 5 rights of medication administration just forgotten 9 times!

I have no medical training, so please forgive my ignorance, but is that a fatal error? Did it result in nine deaths?

I worked at a hospital. My dad was a patient there and they let him bleed out from a misplaced iv. He was a full code on the heart wing. I found him dead before my shift early in the morning and the hospital stance was no he didn’t bleed out. Even denied the photos I took.

Just FYI - potassium chloride is used as a euthanasia agent in animals. In case anyone was wondering the severity
