A severe medical error occurred at Watford General Hospital when a junior doctor administered an overdose of adrenaline to Rachael Emes, leading to a heart attack and seizures. Emes was admitted after a reaction to prescribed antibiotics. The doctor panicked after the initial dose failed, injecting ten times the recommended amount. As a result, Emes required intensive care and continues to face long-term health impacts. She expressed shock that such a straightforward situation could escalate so dramatically due to a lack of proper qualifications and decision-making under pressure.
"A woman suffered a heart attack and seizures after being given a potentially deadly overdose of adrenaline by a panicking junior doctor at an NHS hospital."
"Ms Emes required intensive care and continues to suffer ongoing chest pain... It is absolutely horrific that something so simple could go so wrong."
