FDA says hospitals may still have recalled heparin

One would think that the legal counsel for the hospitals would be personally involved in checking the inventories. Seems a huge issue when the Chinese are killing our patients and the hospitals know the drug is dangerous in advance of administering it. Slam dunk for a multi-million dollar law suit by any junior attorney or paralegal.

Yes, Anonymous, it does seem like one heck of a risk. It's hard for me to imagine how hospitals could have let heparin flow into its systems, given the high profile given to the recall and deaths related to the tainted batches. Let's hope that the FDA's renewed warning comes soon enough.
