Basically, an employee at a Brooklyn hospital called a patient’s family to inform them that their relative had died.  The family was obviously distraught and started to make funeral arrangements.  When they got to the hospital to take care of the legal matters and collect the belongings, they found their loved one still in the ICU, mechanically ventilated, but moving her limbs spontaneously.  They were shocked and were told that she hadn’t died, but that they were wrongly informed.  Of course this will probably result in a law suit that the hospital will have to settle; however, at this time the family is only asking that the employee who called them be fired.

There are some problems with the health care system that Obama will obviously not be able to change.
