Not enough empty hospital beds? Lets kill a few people

[Colorado Rambler]

What I want to know is if they're going to come kill me, so that they can give my lumpy spot on the sofa to the dog. Just in case, I'd like to go on record in the dog's favor. Also, I wish to point out that my two cats are the serial killers around here. There hasn't been a single song bird seen within at least a 10 mile radius since those feline masterminds arrived 3 years ago.

This is what happens with lack of oversight and lax enforcement.

I doubt that. She had three doctors under her who cooperated as well as a psychiatrist, and others. If you have to be mad to be a serial killer, it would be one heck of a coincidence if all of these people were mad, don't you think?

Why wouldn't any of those people have reported her instead of cooperating? I guess Brazil is much more corrupt than we can imagine.

Because no one did complain, there is an investigation of her managers, as well.

I think the implication is that she was clearing beds in intensive care for shorter termed residents.

Here, one would think that someone would have complained to the police. Maybe in Brazil this does not happen because the corruption runs all ways and nobody knows who is connected to whom.

Here's a rate-your-doctor site for the doctor in question that is contemporaneous with her arrest. You don't have to be able to read Portuguese to get it (or use the Google translator), she was receiving good ratings in Feb. 2013 One mother even declaring that the doctor saved her child's life.

Virginia Helena Soares de Souza - Médico clínico Curitiba

Though her trial in this thread seems to have been concluded. As of December 2013 testimony in a trial by jury of Dr. Sousa was still in progress.

The only difference between that doctor and the doctors in the U.S., is that doctors in the U.S. won't admit to killing people willingly.

The top five causes of death in the United States, in order, are tobacco, alcohol, medical malpractice, traffic and firearms. According to JAMA, doctors kill more people than auto accidents and guns.

Another website looks at the above claim and finds that they are comparing oranges to apples and without any solid data. But then they do their own math and finds it could be true?

United States - Are more people accidentally killed by doctors than accidentally killed by guns and traffic combined?

• There are 700,000 physicians in the United States.
• There are 120,000 accidental deaths in the United States caused by physicians every year, and the accidental death percentage per physician is 17.1%.
• There are 80 million gun owners in the United States.
• There are 1,500 accidental deaths from guns every year, regardless of age group, and the accidental death percentage per gun owner is 0.001875%.
• This means, the letter points out, that doctors are 9,000 times more deadly than gun owners.

This doesn't even account for the deaths that the FDA admits killing each year which is a conservative 100,000 people due to the drugs they've deemed as GRAS (generally recognized as safe). See: FDA: Why Learn about Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR)?
