U.S. Attorney’s Office launches investigation of Swedish neurosurgery unit
It was perhaps two months ago that the Seattle Times broke a story of bad care and worse in the Neurosurgery Unit of Swedish. Seems the rock star they brought in (turns out he was under investigation at the place he left) was running 4-5 operating rooms at a time and most procedures were being performed by surgeons unknown or in training. Inadequate nursing personnel, etc., etc., . When in doubt chose the more invasive procedure.
One of the original stories: The O.R. factory | Quantity of care
A relative has been pressing me to go to Swedish for an ortho procedure, so I started following this. Really disgusting.
The Storm needs another sponsor on their uniform.
