DR. JOEL WALLACH: Jackie Kennedy did not die of cancer. Goes in on Friday night, Tuesday she's dead. She died of an overdose of chemotherapy

The speaker is Dr. Joel Wallach

Jackie Kennedy did not die of cancer.  It was taken of her three days before she entered the hospital in New York for her first and, what turned out to be, her last chemotherapy treatment for cancer.  She was diagnosed 6 months before her death as having Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is a type of cancer that normally takes 10, 12, or 15 years to kill you, and it's relatively painless in comparison to pancreatic cancer, which can kill you in 3 to 6 months and be excruciatingly painful.  And when she went in for her first chemotherapy treatment, there was no Death Watch on her because there was no anticipation that she was going to die.  Goes in on Friday night, Tuesday she's dead.  And you're supposed to believe that Jackie Kennedy died of cancer.  Well, as a pathologist and a clinician, I'll guarantee you as sure as God made little green apples, Jackie Kennedy did not die of cancer; she died of an overdose of chemotherapy, just like Betsy Lehman.  And if they can kill a Jackie Kennedy and they can kill a Betsy Layman and not a single thing happened to any of those doctors--they weren't sued; they weren't dismissed; their licenses weren't suspended; nothing happened to those clinics or hospitals, what chance does the average person out on the street have?  Not very much.  

from Medical Economics on the overdosing murder of 39-year-old Betsy Lehman,

It was perhaps the most publicized drug overdose in history. A patient in an experimental breast cancer protocol received four times the already-high prescribed dose of the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide over a four-day period. For two months, physicians didn't even realize that the overdose had caused the patient's death.

Medication errors are hardly uncommon. But this one became a watershed event that roiled a national debate about patient safety. The mishap was exhaustively scrutinized by major media and was studied in papers and conferences by medical leaders across the world. The patient was Betsy A. Lehman, a 39-year-old health columnist for The Boston Globe. The hospital was the world-renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 

Remember that an overdose doesn't happen accidentally; it occurs because the doctor prescribes the overdose.  Well, wait a minute.  That suggests that he doesn't know the medicine or health background of the patient.  Exactamundo.  from UPI,

The suit named the Institute and Dr. James M. Foran, the physician who accidentally prescribed the overdose.
