Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Did you guys see the report recently on the woman who went in to give birth and the anesthesiologist's sloppiness caused her to contract meningitis and die? A friend told me about it. The woman was perfectly healthy before entering the hospital. The speculation is the anesthesiologist had strep on his clothes or something got knocked loose and they reinserted it rather than get a new sterile part and as a result she contracted some airborne strep that went straight into her spinal fluid and killed her. Also, this report claimed the 96,000 deaths per year in hospitals are due to simple errors that result in septic infections. And those are the ones that actually get reported. Makes me sick just thinking about it.a Carnes <pj7@...> wrote: This show is about a Lyme patient in New Jersey.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I saw it, and it was excellent! I emailed info on to friends. Can't tell you how nice if feels to get validation for chronic Lyme and long term ABX from a reputable station like Discovery Health. Quote
