Nov 18, 2008 - I'm so hopeful that maybe some day this nightmare will end. My brother was killed by a hospital in 2005. I wrote every agency I could to investigate, to no avail. At that time, they didn't give a shit. Medicare payed for his death. Atleast now since they won't pay for preventable errors some lives may be saved.

Nov 18, 2008 - How about instead of indicting people for making errors, we figure out how it happens? It's not as simple as people making mistakes; the environment also plays a role.
