I'm Art Caplan. I run the Division of Medical Ethics at New York University's Grossman School of Medicine.

Much in the news over the past couple of months is the fate of a nurse who, at one of the most prestigious hospitals in Nashville, Tennessee, made a terrible blunder that resulted in the death of a patient. She meant to pull a particular drug from an electronic medication cabinet. I think she was looking for Versed. She got the wrong drug. She pulled out vecuronium, which is a powerful paralyzer. It stopped the patient's breathing when they went in for a scan, and the patient died.
