In 1992 tragedy happened at what was called Truckee Meadows Hospital at the time. An only 14-year-old girl was found hanging at the hospital. She was treated with anti-depressive and something clearly went wrong with either the dosis or the risk-management of possible side-effects that can impact the person who have to take the medicine.
This lack of care not only robbed this 14-year-old girl of a future. Also relatives were left behind and had to deal with their terrible loss. The hospital changed its name to do something about its poor reputation but it not to read anywhere if other precautions were made to prevent similar tragedies from happening.
May she find peace where she is now.

Thank you so much for posting about my sisters passing. So many unanswered questions and so many at fault for this tragic and preventable death. Thank for writing this for her and keeping her name alive. This is the first time I have googled her name as it was the most painful death I have ever delt with. Thank you!
