Families are coping with devastating outcomes after surgeries went wrong. A medication error occurred during joint replacement procedures, resulting in severe consequences. At least four people were affected, with one woman now paralyzed from the chest down. She had been scheduled for a knee replacement and was supposed to receive an epidural for pain management, but incorrect medication was administered.

The hospital where these incidents took place is not releasing many details about what happened. Further information is available from the Scripps News Group, which spoke with one of the affected families.
