Recent tragic headlines, such as this March 31 New York Times article, “Deaths of 9 Alabama Patients Tied to Intravenous Supplement,” remind us all of our critical role in patient safety, and the incredible trust the public places in us. Regardless of the outcome of the investigations by CDC and the Alabama public health officials, I pray especially for the families of those who may have been harmed, and also for anyone involved in the supply chain that may have led to the events described in the Times article.
