Quality Surgery, Guaranteed!

It's almost sad that this is newsworthy, but a hospital in Pennsylvania has elected to stop charging people for fixing it's own mistakes.

In other words, if the hospital cuts off the wrong leg or causes you an infection and you require additional treatment *because of the hospital's wrongdoing*, they'll fix it free of charge. I know. It sounds CRAZY right? Anyway, hit the link for the Times article.

How come Pennsylvania always seems to be at the front of these sorts of things? I think it must have something to do with the high Welsh population... all that common sense must permeate somehow :o)‎
