A third cancer patient has died following a serious error at the University Hospital of Burgos, a public hospital in northern Spain. The patient, who had been in critical condition for several months, died after several months in a critical condition as a result of the overdose..
The incident dates back to last December, when five patients undergoing cancer treatment received significantly higher doses of medication than prescribed. The error occurred during the preparation of the drug when an incorrect concentration was mixed, leading to all five patients receiving excessive amounts.
