A very high percentage of folks die in hospitals because of negligence or
malpractice that gets swept under the carpet. They explain it away somehow
and there is nothing one can do after the damage is done especially if it is
death.

Are you suggesting to have caregiver present at a procedure? In scrubs?

Anytime a quad gets any procedure done at the hospital I think it is wise to
have someone there as your backup. Someone that knows your disability and
the in and outs. Many of these people at the hospital have no clue about
spinal
injuries and have a deaf ear when you explain anything. When your life is at
stake you cant be to careful.
