"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Yikes: A nurse in England stands accused of killing patients to free up hospital beds:
'If she thought there was no hope of recovery, she didn't want to wait too long.
'If the patient could be made well enough to be discharged, she would aim for that, if not she would hasten death.
'One way or another, she wanted these patients off her ward.'
I've seen patients booted out of the ICU too soon and discharged too soon to free up beds, but this is just going to far. posted by Sydney on
