Did read that article yesterday...I've always thought that if I had LOTS of money, I'd be a patient ombudsman...the hospitals and insurance companies send people home today so very early, that who knows how many people are injured or die because they fell down stairs (etc) because of the original injury or surgery...

Their death certificate would say death because of falling down stairs and breaking their neck....

Those numbers aren't tallied anywhere, as far as I know.
