Nine People Killed from Bacteria in IV Solutions

Nineteen hospitals in Alabama, and 6 hospitals in the Birmingham area, received contaminated Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) from IV Meds Pharmacy in Birmingham.  The bacteria was found to be Serratia marcescens and was linked to the pharmacy by a swab from a water faucet inside the pharmacy.  As a result, 19 patients were affected and 6 patients died.

    This was a very interesting article. It is scary to think that things like this even happen. I am interested to know how the bacteria got into the drug. I was reading some comments that were made on the posted website and one person seems to think that the pharmacy ran out of sterile water when mixing the drug and just switched to tap water instead. Surely that didn't happen! I like to think that the pharmacy in question knows that those drugs MUST stay sterile.

    I am from USA. I was suffering from HEPATITIS B for over 3 years, i was hopeless until one of my friend directed me to a herbal DR. Dr Chike on youtube, she said the Dr has herbal medicine that treat HEPATITIS B also said the Dr has helped people with. HIV/AIDS, HERPES, HSV, CANCER, DIABETES, HPV, Human papillomavirus ,LIVER diseases, FIBROIDS, ETC. I never believed her but after a lot of talk. I decided to contact the Herbal Doctor, just few days ago i contacted him and he told me what to do which i did and he sent to me a herbal medicine via {DHL} with prescriptions on how i will take it for a period of days. After i finished taking the medicine for 2 weeks he told me to go for a test which i also did and when the result came out i was surprised to see that i am negative. I am proud to tell you that I am the happiest person on earth. Big thanks to Dr Chike herbs .. I pray you find a solution in him.
