NY City and Brooklyn Hosp. just paid out 18 million to a woman who lost both her hands and feet to an infection that Brooklyn Hosp. missed. The woman came to the Hosp. complaining of pain in her kidneys and the Hosp. sent her home with some pain meds and told her it was probably kidney stones. The next day she awoke in terrible pain and was rushed to another Hosp. where she lapsed into a coma. When she awoke from the coma she found that they had to amputate her hands and feet as they turned gangrenous.

Well...I'd like to know the details.
Mistakes do happen. And we can do very best that we can do...but still have bad outcomes.
FWIW-
