13:44 May 19, 2008
Title	Non-Prescribed Dose Given to a Patient
Event Description	The prescribing physician ordered that a regular treadmill stress test be given to a patient. Instead of the correct test the hospital actually gave the patient a treadmill myocardial perfusion imaging test (MPIT) which uses a dose of Tc-99m. At 9:44 AM on 5/19/08 the patient was given a dose of 16.3 milliCuries of Tc-99m for the resting portion of the MPIT. Then at 10:24 AM on 5/19/08 the patient was given a dose of 35.3 milliCuries of Tc-99m for the stress portion of the MPIT. This resulted in a total dose of 51.6 milliCuries of Tc-99m given to the patient which is typical for a MPIT procedure. The hospital is currently conducting an investigation into this occurrence. The hospital will inform the patient of the error. * * RETRACTION PROVIDED BY CHARLES NARAYANAN TO J.
