Found out from my mum tonight that one of my nephews nearly died a couple of days back.  He was wheezing badly and the hospital gave him an adult dose of steroids (he's only 6) He stopped breathing and his heart beat almost stopped

My brother rushed him back to hospital and they managed to revive him, but they are understandably very cross. My sister in law is a nurse and had thought that the dose sounded high, but figured that a pediatrician knew what he /she was doing. 

The hospital admitted liability after initially trying to cover-up, so I hope my brother's family get compensation.

He seems fine now Dame. Stopping breathing for longer than a few minutes often causes brain-damage, but as the rest of his body was so slowed down by the drugs, he seems to have suffered no lasting effects.

Fine now thanks.

Evidence your local hospital is your last port of call.
