Military Pharmacy Gives Heart Med Instead Of Vitamin

KING GEORGE, Va. (WUSA9) -- US Senator from Virginia is demanding answers after another medical mix-up at Walter Reed Military Medical Center.

Mark Warner wants to know why a Virginia woman was sent home with a powerful and potentially deadly heart drug -- instead of the vitamin shots she was supposed to get.

Christiane Wiggins was shaken when her son opened the package of medicine dispensed from a Walter Reed clinic at Dahlgren Navy Base. "My brain went. I was sick to my stomach," says Wiggins. 

"It was labeled B-12 on the bag, labeled as B-12 on the package insert, on the printed label on the bottle," says her son Chris.

But when he pulled out the vials, what he found inside was atropine, a potent drug used to help resuscitate heart patients. "And he said 'Mom, if I gave you this injection, it might kill you,'" remembers Wiggins.

Walter Reed Motorcade: Expect Traffic Delays

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - Authorities are warning that a motorcade from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda may affect traffic during rush hour.

Baltimore police say the multi-vehicle police motorcade will escort a group of injured military service members from Walter Reed to New York City on Wednesday morning.

The motorcade is scheduled to leave Bethesda around 7 a.m. and travel on the Capital Beltway to Interstate 95 toward Baltimore.

Motorists can expect roving lane closures.

Publisher, photographer probed over topless Kate photos

Publisher, photographer probed over topless Kate photos

PARIS (AP) - French prosecutors have placed the publisher and photographer of unauthorized topless snaps of Prince William's wife, Kate, under formal criminal investigation, they said Thursday.

Caroline Chassain, spokeswoman for the Nanterre prosecutor, said that Mondadori Magazines France and local photographer Valerie Suau were placed under investigation earlier this month over possible criminal exploitation of the images, which appeared in the French Closer magazine last September.

The photos showed the duchess of Cambridge relaxing at a private villa in Provence, in southern France, sometimes without her bikini top and, in one case, her suit bottom partially pulled down to apply sunscreen.

Chassain added that Suau's employer, local newspaper La Provence, was also placed under formal criminal investigation on Monday, but she did not elaborate.

The investigation will likely take months to complete.
