Another Medical Horror Story

Chicago Hospital Accused of Cutting Throats for $160,000 - Bloomberg:
...Based in part on surreptitious tape recordings, an FBI affidavit lays out allegations that a Sacred Heart pulmonologist kept patients too sedated to breathe on their own, then ordered unneeded tracheotomies for them -- enabling the for-profit hospital to reap revenue of as much as $160,000 per case...
This is what you get when the profit motive rules the medical industry.
