: Cerebral Palsy Law BlogHep C patient given HIV drug instead.
Pharmacy errors are very dangerous. That seems like an obvious statement, I know. But here is a story I found that reveals what can happen when you are given the wrong drug.
A liver transplant patient has sued New York University Medical Center for $2 million, claiming the hospital's pharmacy gave him medicine for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, when he tried to fill a prescription for hepatitis C medicine.Gregory Rossini, 56, says in court papers that taking the wrong medication caused his hepatitis condition to worsen. Besides chills, dizziness, fever and loss of appetite and weight, his eyes and skin turned yellow, the lawsuit says.
