When patients visit the doctor or are admitted into the hospital, they expect doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to provide them with the best care available. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. In fact, there is an alarmingly high amount of mistakes caused by medical negligence every year, putting millions of innocent lives at risk. One common mistake made by medical professionals is accidentally overdosing patients with prescription medication.

Consequences of Overdose
Medications are made of powerful chemicals, and even the slightest mistake in dosage amount can have dangerous consequences. Overdose is especially hazardous as it comes with the risk of death. Some signs of a medication overdose include:
- Fluctuating vital signs such as unstable temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure
- Cool and sweaty skin
- Chest pains and shortness of breath
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Loss of consciousness
Medical professionals are responsible for your health and safety while you are in their care, and if they fail to act responsibly, you can fight back.
