A criminal investigation is underway at an Oregon hospital after multiple deaths, NBC5 News reportsThe deaths were reportedly caused by infections from tap water injections substituted for fentanyl. It is alleged that up to 10 patients died of infections contracted at the hospital. The sources claim the infections were caused by a nurse who purportedly substituted medication with tap water. The sources indicate that the unsterile tap water led to pseudomonas, a dangerous infection, especially for individuals in poor health, commonly found in a hospital's ICU. Tap water is especially ill-advised, as sterile alternatives should be readily available to healthcare professionals to ensure patient safety.
