    I hope I never have to go to this hospital

    Five times?  Would it really be a bad thing if some of these quacks quit practicing medicine due to a big jury verdict?

    PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Health officials are investigating how a surgeon at Rhode Island Hospital mistakenly operated on the wrong part of a patient's hand, the hospital's fifth wrong-site surgery since 2007. Hospital President Timothy Babineau said in a letter that the mistake Thursday happened on a patient scheduled for surgery on two fingers. A joint on one finger underwent a procedure meant for another.
