    “Bolognese didn’t show up to operate on a patient who was already under anesthesia.”

    uh… Maybe that’s a good thing?

    I guess those brain surgeons aren’t rocket scientists.

    I certainly hope Kristy makes a full-recovery
    So what’s going on?
    A plane crashes because 2 pilots don’t know how to operate the de-icing device.
    A Florida Dr amputates the WRONG leg on a patient & then has to amputate the other leg (anyway.)
    And these 2 clowns
    I wouldn’t let them treat my dog !
    But what it gets down to is TRAINING & CERTIFICATION.
    If these “professionals” are trained & re-trained & compelled to be re-certified at least annually, perhaps we can all see reduced incidents

    It’s easy to follow the herd mentality and bash a doctor when something goes wrong. We need to remember a few things. Hundreds of thousands of successful surgeries are performed each year and people are better off for it. Read the definition of “malpractice”. The standards for negligence are very strict and don’t include honest mistakes or less than desirable outcomes. Doctors take on responsibilities very few of us would even consider much less be qualified to do. Where would we be without them? This persecution mentality has to stop somewhere. A doctor can only do the best he/she can do and can’t guarantee results 100% of the time. ALL SURGERIES INVOLVE RISK. Consider the options. In those few cases where a doctor is grossly negligent he/she should be sued. If they schedule truly unecessary procedures, they should be sued. Fact is, people have two standards in their lives; one for themselves, and a higher one for everyone else. Food for thought.

    that $$ can buy. Otherwise, she’d have been told it’s all in her head and try to find a good shrink. North Shore’s a real good hospital, this is a darned shame!!

    ok, let’s see…the pilot err, was because they should have pushed the nose down but pulled up and stalled the plane even further so it crashed… neither had been trained on proper handling on the shaker stick…

    talk about issues w/the medical field, what about that lady who took her son into mexico because they did not want to go through the treatment for the kids cancer…wanted a different alternative…

    doctors are willing to perform anything for a buck and yet when they do wrong they want to have their malpractice insurance to go down and not up…um..um…in some states they can’t keep good doctors because of the malpractice insurance premium…i think that most hospitals should be held liable for many of these errors as well since they hire these lame doctors…
