Medical show bloopers
I'm watching Oz... Great show. The prison doctor sedates an agitated patient with Haldol 1 mg IM, with gasps from the other healthcare workers: "you'll snow him!" And then the same patient later "overdoses" on that Haldol dose and has to be intubated. Then, he is saved by "having his stomach pumped."
I was laughing my a&@ off...
Any other such medical show bloopers come to mind? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

A celebrity overdose death that didn ’t get much attention
I came across this today by chance but Paton Oswalt’s wife died of an accidental overdose a few years back. She was 46 and the coroners report said she died of a combination of “Adderall, Xanax, and fentanyl.” This begs two questions, why was she on this ridiculous combination and who is the moron who was prescribing this?
