Overlapping surgeries to face US Senate inquiry

[Dustlawyer]

6. I remember a case from my younger days involving the father of one of our legal

secretary's father. He went in for a hernie surgery and his anesthesiologist was going back and forth doing multiple surgeries at a time. His actual surgeon was operating and realized that his patient had stopped bleeding. The anesthesiologist was in the other operating room at the time. Turns out that in this brand new surgical suite, the contractors hooked up the lines in the wall wrong (mislabeled) so that the patient wasn't getting oxygen, just straight gas. He stopped bleeding during surgery because he was dead, and no one was there to monitor his vitals. Had someone been doing the job they received a lot of money for doing, they would have noticed the O2 saturation levels dropping.

GREED!!!!!
