So if you are in a critical care unit and you are administered an overdose amount of fentanyl, seems like the first obvious symptom would be respiratory depression to the point of stopping altogether. If you are in a critical unit, your monitors would go nuts and you would be resuscitated, intubated and given narcan. I would bet that he only did this on DNR patients. Otherwise, there should be no reason to die.

Would have to be more than him. Hate to say it, but the hospital stood to save a ton of money by "celestial discharging" these folks. I've never given meds in an ICU setting. We give the order, pharmacy fills and checks it, nurse checks and gives it. One time mistake? Possible. 25...or more. Impossible.
