Jury says chemotherapy drug death was “manslaughter”

(NaturalNews) A British woman, Anna McKenna, was being treated with chemotherapy in 2006. Due to a mistake by her pharmacist, she was given quadruple the dose of chemotherapy chemicals — an error that continued for four treatment sessions and ultimately killed her (as chemotherapy is known to do).

When an investigation was launched into why she had been given a fatal overdose of chemotherapy, the prescription paperwork mysteriously disappeared. The pharmacist who made the fatal error was never identified, and no criminal charges were brought up. Even now, there are no plans to hold the pharmacist responsible for this manslaughter death of an innocent patient.

Doctors and pharmacists continue to get away with murder

Isn’t it interesting that when victims are killed with pharmaceutical medicines, doctors and pharmacists are never held responsible for their roles in such deaths? If you run over someone with a car and kill them, you’re held responsible. If you accidentally shoot your best friend in a hunting accident, you’re held responsible (unless you’re the U.S. Vice President, of course). If you have a swimming pool in your back yard, and a drunken neighbor drowns in your pool, you’re also held responsible. But somehow, if you’re a doctor or pharmacist, and you prescribe a fatal dose of toxic chemicals to a patient, you’re off the hook!

Doctors and pharmacists have been getting away with murder for so long that no one even remembers what it’s like to hold them responsible for their actions. Let’s face it: They’re in the business of dealing poisons. And when you deal in poison, there needs to be a level of personal responsibility that’s adhered to by working professionals. But instead of professionalism, what we’re seeing in this case is the complete abandonment of any such notion. When the patient dies, they simply “lose the paperwork” to cover their tracks.

Admittedly, being a pharmacist is a difficult job. Stress runs high, and there are countless details to remember about drug safety, drug interactions, proper dosages and so on. But the primary reason the job is so difficult is because the pharmaceuticals they’re dealing with are so toxic in the first place.
