Abstract

A serious accident experienced firsthand by a senior authority of the American medical establishment serves as a catalyst to comment with regards to the excellent attention provided at the intensive care facilities of “ivy league” hospitals, in contrast with the poor attention received by the patient in other institutions. On this article it is also highlighted the importance of the nurses’ labor to the hospitalized patient.
