Hospitals are throwing out organs and denying transplants to meet federal standards

(Although this topic is not about breast cancer I thought it news worthy to understand the politics of our healthcare system.)

    Wow, that's awful! The law of unintended consequences....I'm all for creating standards for hospitals to ensure high quality patient care, but obviously that backfired here. I'm glad they've relaxed the standards, but it sounds like they need a different kind of metric for evaluating transplants. I sure hope they can get things back on track.
