250,000 Australians are hospitalised each year because of medication error, misuse and misadventure. Another 400,000 presentations to emergency departments are likely to be due to medication-related problems. This costs Australia approximately $1.4 billion in hospital admissions alone. 50% of this harm is preventable.16/09/2022
I suggest quite a few deaths result from medical misadventure in Australia as it does around the world. 50% preventable. Patients and medical staff all implicated. In my opinion the lady tasered is a case of medical misadventure. Posters emphasise how weak and harmless the old lady was, so why call in the police who are not familiar with the circumstances.
