Houston Methodist Baytown hospital has been preparing medications wrong on purpose as a cost savings measure and HR is trying to cover it up. Not sure what to do next.

This feels very "half the story". I can't imagine a pharmacy systematically preparing medications wrong intentionally. I can imagine someone misunderstanding different vs wrong, for cost savings.

Care to provide greater detail/examples ?

This medication (prasugrel) was supposed to be destroyed when the announcement was made by the FDA that it can’t be repackaged. The other hospitals changed their practice except Baytown supposedly. Crazy thing is… I heard it’s not even expensive.

Any idea how often those lists get updated?
