  1. I'm confused about the proper consent details. A baby given anesthesia 16 times without proper consent? That just doesn't sound right. I'm sure the initial dose of anesthesia was with consent from the parents. The remaining doses were not verified.
  2. I've been reading Becker's Hospital Review. Some of the media reports on MDACC are troubling. Here is a Click2houston article. https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/ https://www.click2houston.com/health/patient-noted-as-dead-in-federal-report-about-md-anderson-is-still-alive-officials-say HOUSTON - One of two patients who were noted in a federal inspection report about the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center as having died is still alive, according to hospital officials. The inspection by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services was conducted in August after the December 2018 death of a 23-year-old female leukemia patient following a contaminated blood transfusion. The 268-page report details interviews that were held with nurses, physicians and other hospital staff in connection with the cases of several patients. The inspection was conducted between Aug. 12 and Aug. 23. It covered the topics of patient rights, infection control and surgical services. Among the findings detailed in the report: * A 54-year-old brain cancer patient died after having a bad reaction to an overdose of anesthetics. * A chemotherapy patient who was admitted in July died Aug. 16, 2019, after becoming unresponsive. * A 3-year-old, undergoing cancer treatment, was given anesthesia seven times within a two-week period without proper consent. * A 2-year-old was given anesthesia 16 times without proper consent. Issues uncovered and mentioned in the report include: * Bad employee training. * Poor record-keeping. * Unsanitary conditions. * Malfunctioning medical equipment. * Failing to properly clean lead aprons used to protect patients from radiation hazards. * Failure to properly clean up spills of chemotherapy drugs.
  3. More equipment on site. A crane company was also at the site. That electrical panel is also new. Possibly related to the COH OST improvements.
