On Iyer’s Insights I’m going to be talking with you about patient death from overdoses of medications. Or were they overdoses? An interesting question.
I’m going to share with you a couple of cases that I read about in Medical Malpractice Verdicts Settlements and Experts.
Listen in as Pat Iyer chats about these points
- The case of a 54-year-old self-employed contractor who died in bed and also what the autopsy showed
- What the defense’s pathology and cardiac pharmacology experts testified about
- The second story of a person who died after consumption of medications
- Did he really die of of Citalopram overdose? What else happened?

Do you understand the complexities of how the emergency department functions? This book will take you behind the doors of the ER to get a bird’s eye view of what goes on.
There are several aspects of emergency department care that make it high risk for errors – the unpredictable flow of patients, the constant pressure to quickly assess and treat patients, the lack of a previous relationship with the patient, and the huge variety in conditions and ages of patients.
The public is increasingly aware of emergency department quality of care issues. Demand for emergency department services is increasing, and with it, cases against ER staff.
