Very few of these medical area stories ever make it to press, but when they do the details are usually quite appalling. In this case doctors manage to actually kill a 12-year-old boy suffering from nothing more than a severe headache by prescribing a fatal cocktail of prescription drugs. The boy's parents, naturally, are suing the hospital for malpractice. But this news story contains other alarming medical errors experienced by the same hospital, such as the death of another patient from a flying fire extinguisher that was violently attracted to the magnetic resonance imaging machine during its use. As it turns out, in this case the hospital killed the wrong patient: the parents of the 12-year-old boy suffering from a headache are in fact old show wealthy real estate tycoon's who have the will and the means to conduct an aggressive, prolonged legal campaign against the hospital. The hospital for its part, seems to be saying it's not at fault, and that the parents of the 12-year-old boy interfere with his medical care. Apparently, they did not interfere enough, because the hospital manage to prescribe a deadly mix of prescription drugs that ended up killing the boy. Medical mistakes kill at least 100,000 patients each year in hospitals across the United States according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death in United States. That's bad medicine.
