"Eighteen hospitals in California were fined for state health code violations in which patients died from various mishaps such as an improperly inserted tube and a ventilator that wasn't turned on. Other violations include surgical tools left inside patients after surgery...Small wonder some fatsos go to Mexico for their malpractice.
The report detailed a death at a La Mesa hospital in which a worker failed to turn on a ventilator for a patient who was being transferred. Another patient in Los Alamitos died after falling from a wheelchair with no seat belt on, and a Santa Ana hospital lost a patient from a medication overdose.
At Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo, a registered nurse improperly inserted a catheter into a patient's neck vein on Sept. 1, and the patient died as a result of an air bubble from the tube. The report found the nurse had not completed a required anatomy class or the hospital's training on protocol.
Defending himself in the report, the unidentified male nurse told investigators, 'I am the pro of the hospital. The other nurses call me to put in IVs that they cannot get in'....
In other cases, patients had surgical instruments or sponges left inside their bodies during surgery, requiring a second surgery to retrieve the misplaced items. The report also found some patients experienced surgical awareness during their procedures due to improper anesthesia.
The state has issued 61 such penalties to 42 hospitals, Billingsley said."
Better not to get fat in the first place.
And if you did, better to take it off without the harm of the sick care system.
