Drug Store Dispensed Wrong Dose of Drug
A husband received a settlement from a self-insured drug store chain corporation after its pharmacist dispensed the wrong dose of a certain drug being used to treat his wife who had already been diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. The prescription error caused the Willoughby Hill, Lake County, woman to receive nine times the amount of the drug she would have taken under normal circumstances, causing extreme discomfort, pain, and agony just prior to her cancer death.
