Not too far from the truth. New study out this week shows that there are over 170,000. deaths per year caused by hospital infection/illness, etc. Making it the 5th largest killer in American !!
Don't doctors work in hospitals???? HHhhhmmmmmm.....

RT,
I saw the that same stat.! That's why I titled this post "Kinda Funny", there's nothing FUNNY about going into the hospital for a simple procedure and end up DIEING!!!

I tell ya that a gun can sit there for ever and not do anything. Parents that do not keep them from their kids are jerks and should not be allowed to have them. All mine are under lock and key in a locked closet, in a locked toolbox, all with Trigger locks, and alarm at my shop NOT my house. That is what responsible gun ownership is all about. I hope that there are not more laws passed on us but I know there will be

i have mine close at hand. no kids in my house. i am not giving a burgler a chance. unless it is the hamburgler bringing in a sack of mickey d's with cheese!!!!

I'm sorry, but it is not funny...

My brother went to the hospital for a simple operation. He got a staff infection and DIED!

However, my sister is a lawyer, so "justice" is in the works!

Clay,
Sorry for your lose! And you are correct, there is nothing funny about this, and I thought I stated that in my 2nd post here. Hope you get some measure of Justice from your sister.
