Stepping Hill Hospital poisoning
Stepping Hill Hospital poisoning
An investigation into the deaths of three patients and presumed poisoning—by insulin in saline drips—of 17 patients at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport, on the outskirts of Manchester (UK). After the first few cases appeared, the Greater Manchester Police arrested Nurse RJ Leighton, who spent 6 weeks in custody before she was released and the charges dropped. The perpetrator is yet to be found.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc. All rights reserved.
