A patient died after being given an overdose of SIX bottles of medication - when he was prescribed less than a teaspoon, a report has found. Joshua Gaffney, 22, who should have received less than a third of a 15ml bottle, had 21 times the prescribed amount of the drug clozapine. He died at home in Yeovil, Somerset, shortly after the liquid was administered allegedly in the presence of mental health nurses Amanda Young and Petia Gummer. A post-mortem examination and toxicology report found Joshua died from 'acute clozapine toxicology' after being given 84ml instead of just 4ml.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
