  | Nursing Shortage Threatens Health Care November 23, 2004: Nursing Shortage Threatens Health Care:"In Denver, 78-year-old Mary Heidenreich died when a nurse who had flunked a medication competency test accidentally gave her a fatal dose of intravenous drugs. In Wichita, Kan., 38-year-old Deedra Tolson bled to death after an emergency hysterectomy when her nurse, busy caring for 12 other patients, failed to hear her feeble cries for help." http://www.womensenews.com/article.c...ontext/archive Wonder how many more patients we'll lose before hospitals wake up and realize they need to set decent staffing ratios?
