Jimmy Ray Holder, 65, died on January 7, 2001, after having been hospitalized for a heart attack. His nighttime, unexpected death later became one of several at Nocona General Hospital that drew scrutiny when hospital staff noticed an unusually high number of deaths over a short period.
A missing vial of Mivacron, a muscle paralytic, from a crash cart prompted investigators to consider whether patients had been given the drug; Mivacron can cause respiratory failure if administered improperly. Authorities focused on deaths that occurred during a particular shift and eventually identified nurse Vickie Dawn Jackson as a central figure in the probe. Exhumations and civil suits by victims families followed as part of the inquiry.
Holder is among the patients alleged to have been killed with Mivacron. Does anyone have information about Holder’s care at Nocona General Hospital or the night of January 7, 2001?
