Patient's family sues Jackson, hospital

Notes: the story is a fine example of what journalism is not supposed to be. When there are 190,000 people killed each year by hospital errors, 1.5 million harmed by medication error, and 90,000 killed by hospital-acquired infections, it is ludicrous to fish this story out and use it as an example of what appears, at first blush, to be a frivolous case. Why not concentrate on the cases of those seriously hurt or killed by medical error, of which there are more than enough.
