Patient Sues Hospital and Pharmacy for Allegedly Giving Contaminated Medications POSTED ON NOVEMBER 25, 2014

Belleville, IL - A Belleville (IL) hospital, along with a local pharmacy, is being sued by a patient for allegedly giving him contaminated medication following a heart surgery, causing her to contract an infection. Melissa Owens has filed a 3-count complaint against defendants Dr. John D. Sadoff, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, and New England Compounding Pharmacy Incorporated on 27th October in the Saint Clair County Court.
