Patient catches fire during surgery

A woman who caught fire during surgery at an Illinois hospital has now died.

Patients catching fire during surgery is more widespread in America than has been reported before. It happens about 600 times a year nationwide. About one or two victims die each year.

Again, however, health care corporations have long covered up the problem. As the problem is finally being exposed, companies are sputtering for a defense.
