BOSTON—Admitting he only knew the guy for “a couple weeks, tops,” local cardiac surgeon Dr. David Griffiths told reporters he was sorta bummed about losing his patient Brian Fields, but it’s not as if they were close or anything. “You never want to lose a patient on the operating table, but it’s not like I’m going to miss him personally,” said Griffiths, noting that while the situation was “definitely super shitty,” the only thing Fields seemed to want to talk to him about was the coronary bypass surgery, and the two “never hung outside of the hospital,” so he’s “not about to go home and cry.” “What, am I just going to get upset over every patient I lose? Breaking it to his children was tough, but, then again, they’re not my kids, so what do I care? The dude totally seemed nice enough, but I’m obviously not going to lose sleep over it.” Griffiths added that if they had, in fact, been good friends he probably would’ve done a way better job with the surgery.

Area surgeon drains the main vein during heart surgery; forgets he not a urology patient.

1 cause of preventable deaths. So, what does that say about the state of care: do we care?

He was just practicing. He's learning from his mistakes.

Loss prevention bells on surgical patients' necks turned down once again at labyrinth hospital's board meeting.

Cutting your losses goes with the territory.

If the guy really wanted to live, he'd have tried harder not to die. You can only lead a horse to water and all that.

Trump likens buying Greenland to 'a large real estate deal'White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow is confirming that Pres. Trump 'wants to take a look at' buying Greenland, although the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark has said it's not for sale. Why won’t we look at it before someone else may buy it? Why would we let them and the Dutch know we are interested. Seems reasonable to me before China or Russia gets ahold of it. Wonder if realDonaldTrump knows Iceland is green and Greenland is not. Keep the pasta flying. He will pay for it by selling California to the Russians thus costing the democrats over 50 electoral votes
