I'm going with the meth lab theory. Father in law (passed away recently) had a doctor "friend" that sold product. They had stories of routinely breaking into university labs to cook. Can't imagine in those years other people didn't do the same at hospitals.

A nurse in Oregon was stealing Fentanyl IV drips, replacing them with tap water. Killed ten people. https://www.columbian.com/news/2024/jan/03/up-to-10-people-died-after-oregon-nurse-swapped-fentanyl-in-ivs-with-tap-water-reports-say/ https://www.columbian.com/news/2024/jan/03/up-to-10-people-d...

  Huh. My first question is whether it was the tap water that killed them? Fentanyl is pain medication right. You'd think people would notice something was up before they _die_... EDIT: nvm, says infections.

    Yeah, that's the problem with tap water in particular, it's not sterile unless treated. Also, in an IV (or an enema) you're running the risk of hyponaetremia, hence why 0.9% saline solution is the default hydration IV fluid unless you have a condition (usually kidney related) that requires a lower concentration.

  More casualties of the war on drugs. Anyone who takes a schedule ii medication has the potential for botched care due to some diversion scheme.
