Potassium injection: A nurse grabbed a vial of potassium accidentally and injected the concentrated potassium into a patient, who died within hours.
Disodium: A 5-year-old autistic boy died because the wrong medication was administered during a controversial treatment for the disease. He received Disodium EDTA instead of Calcium Disodium EDTA.
