Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
Hospital Infection Sickens 23 Patients
The investigation into the Ochrobactrum anthropi and Klebsiella oxytoca infections contracted by 23 St. Cloud Hospital patients is focusing on one nurse who apparently used a needle to steal pain medication from IV bags.
St. Cloud Hospital has suspended the nurse, and a criminal investigation is underway. To date, 23 patients in one unit of the hospital were infected. The infections occurred between October 2010 and March. We suspect others were also sickened.
