The doctor, Sebastian Campuzano, had been hired by the cruise line just a few months prior, and was described as a “young, inexperienced, Columbia-trained physician”. This lead to an “intense” reaction that plunged the crewmate into a catastrophic situation that resulted in his arm being amputated. “(Dr Campuzano) gave the wrong medication, the wrong dosage by the wrong route through the wrong injection site, and it was administered over the wrong time and by the wrong method,” Mr Scolaro said. Intravenous and intra-arterial injection of promethazine has led to many publicised amputations for unfortunate patients … it was completely unnecessary. This required the amputation of his right arm — once he finally reached hospital it was too late to save his gangrene-ravaged arm.
