A medication mix-up at a hospital has left a 72-year-old woman paralyzed. The woman, Glenda Dorton, was to receive an epidural for a knee replacement procedure, but instead received potassium chloride. This error has resulted in paralysis from the chest down, and she remains in the intensive care unit.

At least three other patients were also harmed in the incident. Dorton's family is waiting to see if any of the damage can be reversed. Further details about the incident and its aftermath are available.

The hospital where the incident occurred is Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown.
