Lawsuit Filed Against Hospital in Medication Mishap
A Pennsylvania hospital has been sued following a medication error that killed one infant and left another brain-injured, reports the Associated Press. The twins had been given an overdose of an antibiotic just one day after their premature birth. Both infants suffered cardiac arrest, said the AP. The hospital admitted that a medication error had occurred, and claims it has instituted enhanced protocols to prevent future mishaps. The lawsuit is seeking over $50,000 in damages.
