"Wrongful Death Lawsuit: Nurse Replaces Patient's Medication with Tap Water, Resulting in Tragic Outcome"

A wrongful death lawsuit seeking up to $11.5 million has been filed against Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Oregon, alleging that a nurse replaced a patient's fentanyl drip with tap water, leading to the patient's death. The lawsuit claims that the nurse's actions resulted in the introduction of bacteria into the patient's bloodstream, causing a fatal infection. The nurse, Dani Marie Schofield, has agreed to a voluntary nursing license suspension pending investigation, and the hospital is under investigation by the police for potential medication theft and adverse patient outcomes.
