Often times the employees charged with stacking the pallets would be forced to put heavy items at the top. One of these heavy items, a 54 pound box of Coke syrup, fell and struck Antonio on his back. Antonio suffered a herniated disk. Instead of providing medical care and treatment to Antonio, BEK provided limited care and treatment and then fired Antonio.

On multiple admission documents and subsequent records the physicians and hospital pe ... rsonnel noted Mr. Perea's allergy to ativan. Despite these notations of the allergy throughout Mr. Perea's chart, the hospital nurses gave Mr. Perea two injections of ativan. Mr. Perea was found unresponsive the next morning and subsequently died. The nurse employed at Southwest Regional who documented the "physician's order" for ativan had previously had his license to practice nursing suspended in Colorado for giving ativan to a patient without physician permission. Mr. Perea's physician and physician's assistant at trial all denied giving the order for Mr. Perea to receive ativan. The Director of Nursing at Southwest Regional knew this nurse had previously had his license suspended for giving ativan to a patient without physician permission and choose to hire the nurse anyway. This nurse now has lost his license to practice nursing here in Texas due to stealing patient medication to get high.
