2321 - Hospital safety

Patient safety. The most important thing in a hospital, right? Then why do we have 100,000 people a year die from medical mistakes? (I recently saw a figure of 180,000.) So how do you check a hospitals' safety score?

You go to www.hospitalsafetyscore.org/ of course! Put in your zip code and start comparing.

Yikes!
The hospital i had my back surgery was a C.and from the looks of things I should be thrilled they didn't leave a foreign object in me.
But the ones I would use now where I live are all A's. Whew.

Biblo - Internally or externally?

Angel - You picked a good location without knowing it?

Peg - I live right next to a C. Convenience or safety, hmmmmmmm.
