From Hawk's link:
The 52-year-old Kirk checked himself into Lake Forest Hospital in Illinois on Saturday. He was transferred on Sunday to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, where tests showed that he had suffered an ischemic stroke.
Read this as, Lake Forest is a death trap. That hospital did nothing for him, he was
under observation. They probably didn't even give him an aspirin. If they had given
him proper tests and administered anti coagulants upon admission he probably would
have been transferred to a more appropriate medical facility intact or been released the
next day with the clot dissolved and in good health.
This is an object lesson, all medical facilities are not the same nor are doctors.
What do you call a physician who graduated last in his class? You call him doctor.
You must always exercise your good sense and hopefully have a loved one who
will do so if you are incapacitated. These people are just as fallible as anyone else
and must be "kept on the spot" else they practice statistical medicine.
