News has a way to be very timely with these threads (yes, I am seven months pregnant!). Anyhow, after reading this article the title is misleading. The Epidural did not kill this woman but the wrong administration of the drug. They gave it to her on her arm instead of her spine. It surprises me though that the victim did not realize it since she was a nurse herself. I think she just thought they were administering saline through IV little she knew they were administering the drug itself!
