The toddler was in her first round of chemotherapy, while she was fighting a curable cancer.
The sodium chloride was 26 times higher than it should have been and killed Emily. Now, her family fights to create Emily’s Law, hoping that this does not happene again to anyone else.
If passed, Emily’s Law would make federal grants available to all states requiring technicians to pass a national training exam.
It would also require the reporting of all prescription errors and limit the number of technicians allowed to work under one pharmacist.
The pharmacist who approved Emily’s medication has been indicted on charges of reckless homicide and involuntary manslaughter.
The case goes to trial later this year.
