- I don't know about the incident to which you refer, but this did
- happen in a metro Atlanta hospital in the last two or three
- years. The incident and the instantly-filed lawsuit were big
- news in all the local media.
-
- As I recall, it was either a hardware problem or a bad setting on
- the electric cauterization gizmo. Painful but true. There were
- allegations that similar machines had malfunctioned around the
- country.
