First phase of infusions go well. The patient goes back for further chemo. The daughter is upset and asking for help. Doctor and nurse attend to patient. They never at any time lift up the gauze to check placement of the needle.
Chemo treatment is completed.
The patient goes to ER that night with evidence of extravasation of caustic chemical into the subcu tissues surrounding the area. She ends up having a mastectomy due to this extravasation. I have just finished reading the posts under this subject. I had the exact feelings as most of the notes I read. I would never be sued because I made an error or left something out of a report.
