1/1 A TERMINALLY ill cancer patient who was mistakenly given chemotherapy doses five times stronger than prescribed died of natural causes, a coroner has ruled. Barbara Curtis, 81, was being treated for acute myeloid leukaemia when the error was made by a pharmacy at Royal Bournemouth Hospital (RBH) in December 2017. She died less than three weeks later, Dorset Coroner s Court was told. Coroner Brendan Allen concluded that Mrs Curtis died of natural causes, contributed to by chemotherapy. The evidence I have heard does not support the proposition that the medication error probably, more than minimally, negligibly or trivially contributed to Mrs Curtis s death, he said.
