Senator James Doyle (D) is calling for a state investigation of a particular hospital that had five of its facilities report that up to 2,000 of their patients had gotten the wrong medication from them. A software problem was to blame, causing the patients to receive their time-released medications improperly. Senator Doyle is demanding a legislative review of the hospital's operator Lifespan to make sure the problem isn't related to hospital negligence.
