JaneBlitzicki This happened with morphine at Kaiser Concord, CA, 15 years ago. There was a lawsuit of 5 families suing. One man w/ torn his Achilles tendon, went in for surgery& ODed. From the lawsuit/depositions, all rooms were cleaned. Laci Peterson ME (Peterson) was the ME for Kaiser

SEROIUSLY 1000 mcg !!! this dose is an insane amount of Fent to adm to anyone in that little amount of time ! the doc really cant explain this order I would think

That dose of fentanyl is 10 times the therelutic dose for pain.

I give Fentanyl/versed on a daily basis. If an MD ordered a dose like this, I'd refuse the order. If they insisted, I'd file assault charges against them. And if the MD ordered somebody else to do it, I'd file charges against them too.

See:Dr Harold Shipman

Hospice workers do this all the time. Inappropriate morphine (e.g. for bladder infections or fever) for persons with declining health is much more common than this. A bigger problem that should be investigated.

Doctors are just people. And they have issues too,

Wow. Husband had cancer. Never got more than 150 mcg.after using for several years. This is insane!!

I hope he is charged with MURDER.

I'm getting 'NO FENTANYL' tattooed several places on my body.

I’ve been a nurse for 10 years and wonder why the administrating RN didn’t question the order?

Whoa

Allison's death, along with at least 33 other patients from 2015-2018, is part of an investigation into Dr. William Husel, the intensive care doctor that allegedly ordered 'significantly excessive and potentially fatal' doses of pain medication in 28 of the cases. (2/8)

This hospital is going to eventually declare bankruptcy.

1,000 mcg?!? I can’t think of one pharmacist or nurse that would even consider administering that dose. That doesn’t make any sense.
