  • regarding the alleged ten fold overdose of diamorphone; just how does one get their hands on that much? None of the drugs stocked by my adult hospital are in packages large enough to give ten times a routine clinical dose, and for some very good reasons, including, preventing inadvertent massive error, and decreasing the amount of left-overs that could be diverted to illicit use.
    While the doc in this case might be the sharp end of the error, the blunt end of the error is possibly the packaging and delivery system.
