Alleged drug mix-up at Ascension Saint Thomas in Nashville leaves 72-year-old woman paralyzed, family says

An unspecified event at Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown harmed at least four patients, according to hospital reports. Glenda Dorton's family alleges her condition of being paralyzed from the chest down was caused by receiving potassium chloride instead of an epidural during a knee replacement procedure. The hospital apologized for the harm and stated it immediately launched an investigation after reporting the incident to state regulators.
