The hospital staff administered the wrong medication to a woman after a pituitary surgery. The hospital pharmacy filled the prescription incorrectly and nurses failed to recognize that they were administering the wrong medication. Our law firm represented the husband and children of the woman who died. Verdict: $1.95 million.

• The wrong medication: One medicine's name may sound or look like another, the doctor may be confused or the pharmacist may read the prescription wrong. The end result is a potentially dangerous medication error. If a drug is contra-indicated by the patient's condition or history, the doctor and pharmacists should be aware of that and take appropriate care.
• The wrong dosage: The right medicine in the wrong dosage can cause irreparable harm. The doctor who wrote the prescription, the pharmacist who filled it or the nurse who administered it could be responsible for providing the wrong dosage. One of our clients was given 16 times the normal dose of an anti-seizure drug and passed out in a movie theater while with her two young children. She was saved at the hospital.
