Strike Two For the Cleveland Clinic

The Plain Dealer hasn’t exactly been dishing out the compliments for our world famous hospital as of late. First, we saw the story about the dog used (and killed) to test a new medical device even though it had never been approved. Now we have the opening of a negligence trial for a woman who had a towel left in her lung after surgery. This doesn’t exactly sound like the sort of tight ship policy that gains a place world famous status, but lawyers from the clinic are claiming the towel actually helped the woman in question live longer. Get all the details yourself, I’ve got some snow to shovel.

Wal-Mart, Still Keeping Their Image Squeaky Clean

Every liberal’s favorite store is back at it! A Wal-Mart pharmacist in Columbus denied a couple (both over 18) the morning-after pill citing his own moral reasons. After driving to a CVS 45 minutes away and getting the pill the two contacted the governor, NARAL, and an anti-Wal-Mart activist group, and, well, now somebody gives a damn. No specific word on what is to happen yet, but there are plenty of people not too happy about Wal-Mart yet again.

Roll the Blooper Reel

A cop in Warren was accidentally shocked by a taser fired by another officer while the two were – get this – fighting a 14-year-old boy. One, why does it take two cops to subdue a 14-year-old? Two, what kind of cop fires a taser at 14-year-old? Three, was this guy shooting from a 100 feet away because he was scared of the 14-year-old? Cause otherwise I don’t know how he missed. Someone get these guys a medal, we’re lucky no one is dead.
