This is lawsuit filed by woman who was having her intrathecal pump refilled with pain medication when the doctors miss the refill site, and inject the medications directly into her soft tissues, causing an overdose. It was filed in Health Claims Arbitration on February 24, 2017, and is the 91st medical malpractice case filed in 2017 in Maryland. As an additional result of the overdose, the woman suffers cerebral hemorrhage and suffers from severe headaches, confusion, and word loss. If after all of this the doctor is unsure, the refill attempt should be abandoned until fluoroscopic or x-ray imaging is available to make sure the needle insertion is correct.
