I read today that at Vanderbilt hospital recently, a nurse gave an elderly patient Vecuronium, instead of 2 mg of Versed for her anxiety. Unfortunately, Vecuronium is a drug that Tennessee uses for lethal injection. They buried the patient. Another reason to stay away from the medical profession.I stay as far way from the healthcare system as humanly possible.
I just read today that Kansas(I believe) recalled all their license plates that started with J A P because some Japanese American took offense. They went sequentially with JAN, JAO, then JAP and 3 numbers afterward. I wonder if some Marine gets pissed when he says JAR.
Edit: I didn't notice that Boca had already posted this about license plates. Sorry.

Why does a hospital have lethal injection drugs?
There is no way a knowledgeable nurse can’t tell the difference between (Norcuron) vecuronium and (midazolam) versed. I have to have a physician or anesthesiologist in the room when I vec an intubated pt. Vec comes in 10mg and versed in 4 mg. They must have pretty lax policies for this to happen.I read today that at Vanderbilt hospital recently, a nurse gave an elderly patient Vecuronium, instead of 2 mg of Versed for her anxiety.

There was a link to the story yesterday on the Drudge Report. It said that the woman was put into a PET scan machine whereas protocol called for her to be observed after being given medication. I don't know what protocol is but they said the nurse violated it. VE was written on the order if that means anything. There is a wrongful death lawsuit. You might be able to google the story.There is no way a knowledgeable nurse can’t tell the difference between (Norcuron) vecuronium and (midazolam) versed.

I would have questioned giving an elderly woman 2 mg versed for anxiety because that’s not what versed is for.
I just read the report. The nurse did an override before the pharmacist ok’d the drug. She’s in big trouble.There was a link to the story yesterday on the Drudge Report.

The third leading cause of death in the US is accidents, which includes medical accidents. Something to mull over when you’re lying in a hospital bed.There was a link to the story yesterday on the Drudge Report.
