Fatal Pharmacy Error Results in Child’s Death

An Orlando, Florida family is reeling from a decision to fine a hospital pharmacist a meager $1,000 dollars in the death of their 3-year old son. The parents of Sebastian Ferrero brought him to Shands Hospital at the University of Florida in Gainesville to see why he wasn't growing as fast as he should. The doctors prescribed a growth drug and the Shands pharmacist filled it 10 times the amount needed. The parents said the decision to fine the pharmacist responsible such a low amount was just a slap on her wrist and a slap in their face. The Ferrero’s called on Governor Charlie Crist to step in. They said they'll send a letter to the governor, asking him to launch an investigation. The pharmacist who filled the prescription in error has been ordered to attend further training on how to fill prescriptions. The hospital will pay $850,000. The family said it plans to use the money to help build a new Children's Hospital, in hopes that this kind of medical mistake never happens again.
