@jackisaidit27@MarioNawfal Batch compounding can only happen in clean rooms per regs. The pharmacy compounded the syringes for OR cases, which is completely the norm. Providers can only do immediate use compounding at the bedside. There's a reason pharmacy was making the preps, possibly due to recalls.
@Raj10514Michael@SharylAttkisson Yes I'm a BCSCP pharmacist who has managed the sterile compounding program for 3 different health systems. I know everything there is to know about sterile compounding workflow management and how these errors occur. It's literally my entire job.
@PaleoOnc@peterproctor Until people understand what actually goes on in a sterile compounding room, you'll never understand how something like this could happen. What I don't understand is how a woman's bladder is accidentally removed instead of her uterus. Now THAT is perplexing.
@WorkforLife3@AmericanPublic0 The inpatient pharmacy compounded the meds that were administered. The end users had a product labeled as having the correct ingredients. The pharmacy tech who compounded the preparations and the pharmacist who checked them are to blame. My guess is new tech, poorly trained.
Right now, there is a trial happening in Boston that is being televised where a mother with postpartum psychosis killed her 3 young children before slashing her own wrists and jumping out of a second floor window, which ended up paralyzing her from the waist down.
Her psychosis took off after the birth of her 3rd child, right before she was scheduled to return to work as a labor and delivery nurse. She was being treated with medication, daily appointments with her doctors and a stint at McLean Psychiatric Hospital. She is the one who begged for help. She committed this crime on the day her husband left the house for 1/2 hour to get groceries because she seemed to be doing better.
The fact that this woman is on trial when she was clearly out of her mind is unconscionable. The fact that she, her husband and even the first responders are being forced to relive the event is also unconscionable. One of the jurors asked to be removed because he couldn’t handle it.
Out of all the things though, the most unconscionable of unconscionable things is the way we treat mothers and their babies in this country.
From @taprootbirth
“Postpartum depression is a condition affecting the neurotransmitters in a person's brain. It is also caused by lack of presence, care and community. In many traditional cultures it is taught that a new mother should never be left alone with her babies. She needs the co-regulation of wise women/people. She needs grounded humans who feed her, make sure she is hydrated, clean her sink, brew her tea, ladle her soup, and play with her other children. Someone to sit with her, share stories, and make her laugh. Help her remember she is human.
A mother who is left alone with her babies postpartum has the cognitive impact of a person who has survived war. Her body thinks she has been abandoned by her community.”
If there is something good to come out of this, let it be the end of the expectation that caregiving is something that we consider as a last priority after all the other things. Because it’s fucking time.
🚨🚨Senator Ron Johnson says CNN canceled his interview yesterday after he told them he planned to discuss internal documents showing public health officials covered up COVID vaccine harm.
“Not one major network has covered this story.”
“I was just invited to be on CNN yesterday.”
“I told them what I would talk about, they canceled the interview.”
STAY CONNECTED, NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇
