The wrong woman was given a chemical abortion tablet after a nurse mixed up two patients with the same first name, a misconduct hearing heard today.
Ann Downer gave the drug to the woman who had only gone into her clinic for an initial consultation.
She had not decided to have a termination when the nurse gave her the drug.

Tragic.
a mistake over a FIRST NAME?
give strength! :furious::furious::furious:
The misconduct panel ruled that Downer did not obtain the woman's consent to give her the abortion drug but she will be allowed to carry on practicing as a nurse with a three-year caution order after it was found to be an 'isolated incident'.
NO! she should be struck off!
she expressed regret? oh. ok.
