Drug, dosage mistakes all too common

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: "Medication mistakes, such as the wrong drug or the wrong dose, are happening all too often at hospitals. On average, there's at least one drug error per hospital patient per day, according to a report last year by the Institute of Medicine. Fortunately, not all patients are harmed by such mistakes, as Dennis Quaid's twins were. But mistakes can be fatal. For example, a father of three died at University of Chicago Hospitals after receiving repeated chemotherapy overdoses."
