Doctor's Hospital declared guilty

I don’t know details of this case, but seems like another case of nursing f’ing up and a doctor getting sued for it.

Docs write perscriptions. Ex. They write “Insulin X dosage X time period” etc. They will not write on their perscription “Please make sure to give them insulin that has been sitting out of a fridge for one year”. Their job is not to walk into a pharmacy and say “hey, are all your meds needing refrigeration actually in a refrigerator?”

That is the job of ancillary staff (nursing, pharmacists, etc). Hospital and pharmacy office managers need to supervise this, and fix problems (like get a new fridge for the meds). The gov’t is supposed to oversee compliance being met in these areas.

So, I don’t understand why she didn’t hold her ground. The lawsuit should have been against the hospital management.

It seems in this case the doctor prescribed higher than usual doses of painkillers, which it appears mighthave been sedatives, resuting in respiratory compromise. However, reading the father’s version, i think he is partly to be blamed. The girl was given 2 injection and the father was still complaining that she is crying and had no releif. These i want a quick fix type of guys are of no good.
