When the Cure Becomes the Killer
Three year-old Hanin was born with cataracts in both eyes. Her parents did not realize this until she was three months old. The little girl underwent routine cataracts-removal surgery at a local hospital when she was six months old. The operation was deemed a success.As a follow up, her ophthalmologist wrote her prescriptions for different kinds of eye drops. Unfortunately, when Hanin’s parents went to have her prescriptions filled, the pharmacy gave them the wrong prescribed medicines.
