She had the morphine pump for about 3 years. At one point the lead broke lose and was spraying morphine all over her body. They repositioned the lead. Then in November she went to her pain clinic complaining of nausea. They checked her pump and her lead and said everything was working properly. She then had my sister take her to an ER. She was very ill. They told her she had a common stomach virus and sent her home. She died that night in her sleep. The 1st autopsy found nothing. We are still waiting for the toxicology results to come back. We are in shock. She had just been into her Dr. and had a complete physical 2 weeks prior to her death and got a clean bill of health.

Back on march 22 2000 my mother died from a morphine over does. and i beleave it was do to the pump. IT had not been working right so they went in to repair it. she went home the same nite and feel asleep and never woke up. we could not find any one to take the case. I know in my heart one day there will be a big lawsuit because of these pumps. I still have my mothers. So if your thinking about getting one you better look more into them.

My story is very long, since I have fighting against this back injury for almost 6 years now! But my most recent procedure involved my second attempt to have medtronic's pain pump implanted in my spine area, etc. And BELIEVE me it came very, very close to killing me, and it appears as if it has caused quite of bit of damage to various other parts of my body that I will be forced to deal with for a long time to come and possible the rest of my life. Not to mention all the pain and anguish this put my entire family through and things of this nature.... Like I have said this story is much too long yet very serious, containing many many various facts, much too much for me to attempt to write here. Since this has very seriously damaged my eyesight as well as many other things as mentioned...
