A 27-day-old baby nearly died after a nurse mixed up the vials and gave him adrenaline instead of vitamin K, needed for an umbilical wound. After the injection, the girl started vomiting, had low muscle tone and went into cardio-respiratory arrest. The doctors managed to stabilize her and she is now admitted to the pediatric ward. The parents are demanding explanations and plan to file criminal charges, while the hospital has launched an investigation. The College of Physicians has taken the case for further investigation.
