Mount Carmel says doctor gave 27 near-death patients potentially fatal doses of pain medication

I suspect there's more to this story, but I worry our hospice/palliative care providers are going to have some concerns about being able to keep patients comfortable

In this case, it seems like a large one time dose of a highly negatively viewed drug, but that may have been appropriate in the cases.
