Nurse Charged With Felony In Medication Error Death
• Medication error could send nurse to prison for up to 6 years in death of OB patient.
• A former Madison, WI nurse was charged with criminal neglect in the death of 16-year-old Jasmine Gant, who died in July of a medication error while giving birth. Julie Thao, 41, of Belleville, faces a count of neglect of a patient causing great bodily harm, which carries a maximum prison sentence of six years in prison.

Nurse Charged With Felony In Medication Error Death
• Gant allegedly died after an epidural anesthetic was allegedly mistaken for a prescribed dose of penicillin. Thao is alleged to have taken the drug from a locker and administered it to the patient intravenously even though the container carried a warning that it was not for IV use.
• The patient died within an hour, but the infant survived when doctors performed an emergency ceasarian delivery.

Nurse Charged With Felony In Medication Error Death
• A criminal complaint alleges that Thao ignored every safeguard put in place to prevent medication errors at Madison's St. Mary's Hospital and Medical Center. The prosecutor alleges Thao ignored the hospital's "Bridge System," used to scan medication labels before drugs are administered, took a potentially lethal drug from a storage locker without authorization and didn't read the label of a drug she injected into Gant.

Nurse's suicide highlights twin tragedies of medical errors
• For registered nurse Kimberly Hiatt, the horror began last Sept. 14, the moment she realized she’d overdosed a fragile baby with 10 times too much medication.
• Stunned, she told nearby staff at the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Seattle Children’s Hospital what had happened. “It was in the line of, ‘Oh my God, I have given too much calcium,’” recalled a fellow nurse, Michelle Asplin, in a statement to state investigators.

Nurse's suicide highlights twin tragedies of medical errors
• In Hiatt’s 24-year career, all of it at Seattle Children’s, dispensing 1.4 grams of calcium chloride — instead of the correct dose of 140 milligrams — was the only serious medical mistake she’d ever made, public investigation records show.
![Page 7: Dimensinal Analysis](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681645e550346895dd6326c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Nurse's suicide highlights twin tragedies of medical errors
• “She was devastated, just devastated,” said Lyn Hiatt…
• That mistake turned out to be the beginning of an unraveled life, contributing not only to
• the death of the child, 8-month-old Kaia,• but also to Hiatt’s firing, • a state nursing commission investigation • and Hiatt's suicide on April 3 at age 50.
