Seems as if everybody along the way dropped the ball. I don't know the details, but two different strengths in similar looking bottles? -- kept in the same drawer? --
When I take medications -- all in the same white bottles -- I look at the bottle label when I take it out of the storage area, look at it again when I take the pill, and look at it a third time when I put the bottle back.
Nevertheless, I have mistaken Alprazolam 0.5 mg. for Lovastatin 10 mg., but only once. (They are both orange colored tabs.) I had put them in a pill pod in the wrong order.
I guess it will be up to the hospital staff and perhaps the courts as to where the ultimate responsibility and culpability lies. Let's just hope and pray these kids make it.
What a tragedy...
