A palliative-care pharmacist at a Milwaukee hospital finds three “peaceful” deaths in one week, each preceded by the same off-label sedative order signed by the unit’s most beloved doctor, the man who cared for her mother at the end. The hospital wants it quiet, the third order carries her own verification, and one body is booked for cremation on Friday.
