Medical Malpractice: More Heparin drug mistakes and overdoses at hospital
The title link will take you to a Wall  street Journal article about the recent Heparin drug overdoses, which were  similar to the Quaid twins' situation;  although with a more tragic result.  Two twins died as a result of the medical /medication error in the most recently reported  case. Hospitals must be vigilant when administering drugs, especially now that the labeling issues associated with Heparin are now well-known. These recent cases seem to be clear cases of careless medicine. It will be interesting  to see whether the hospital will take full responsibility and compensate these familiesfairly; but, more importantly, importantly, it will be interesting to see what, if anything, the hospital will do  to prevent tragedies like this from recurring. this seems to be a case where the threat of legal action will likely motivate some much-needed safety reforms so that medical negligence, mistakes and malpractice can be avoided. If you have experienced a drug or other medical error, feel free to contact my office for help.  Remember, not all bad medical outcomes are the result of medical malpractice; but we can help you sort out your case and make that determination.
