According to the New York Post, Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center reported to the police in early December last year that employees were stealing medications and switching intravenous solution fentanyl (also translated as fentanyl) out of packages. , the nurse involved in the case injected patients with unsterilized tap water to cover up the misappropriation of the hospital’s painkiller, fentanil.
According to a report by the Rogue Valley Times, this crime began to affect patients in the fall of 2022. Two of the patients’ family members were informed by the hospital that the patients’ painkillers were “switched” into unsterilized bags. A hospital source told local NBC station KOBI-TV that a total of nine people died from the infection, and other reports stated that a total of 10 people died.

In response to this incident, the hospital only responded with a statement, “We were very sad to learn about this issue, reported it to law enforcement, and are working closely with them.” The Oregon State Health Department confirmed on the 3rd that it is investigating. “Notification of an incident that resulted in a healthcare-associated infection, serious injury to multiple patients, and possibly death.” It is unclear whether anyone has been arrested.
