When were you made aware of the adverse event That happened the last time you were hospitalized? Perhaps an event that your doctor's ashamed of? That ruined your sex life? Were you desensitized? They didn't intend to but accidents happen, And no one had asked you about your foot fetish. So when the brochure said that Blue Cross would cover Pedicures, you couldn't wait to look more coquettish. But the anaesthesia before they began cutting Kept you from missing your littlest toes Until after the fact, and way, way too late To be heeding their warning: "…that can be how it goes." If only you'd known that one-third of the patients In hospitals suffer an adverse event… And these aren't the "blessed events" of Tom Coburn, All those for which the Tea Party's hellbent. Will a jury believe your physician or you That your bedsores weren't there at the time of admission? Still how many patients do you think are able To prove two missing toes wasn't their precondition?
