A miserable hospital stay

Here's a hospital experience that will encourage you to stay healthy.

A 75-year-old woman in Michigan had a massive heart attack, but was revived by paramedics. She has a couple of broken ribs from the successful revival, but that's not that out of the ordinary.

However, as she was recovering in the hospital, she fell out of bed and broke her nose and gashed her forehead. Then, according to the woman's daughter, medical staff caused her mother to have facial burns when they were treating the cuts.

"When they went to cauterize the cuts, they didn't take off the oxygen mask and it blew up in her face," she said.

The Fire Department had to be called to the scene. I wonder who arrived first -- the fire department or the personal-injury lawyers.
