    • I think "never event" was chosen because it will not be reimbursed (negative compensation). But, with the law of unintended consequences, I suspect it will be used to seek tort compensation.

    Memories for sure. Stopped into Valley MC in September 1974 and met Bob Daily thinking I might train there, but it was 116 or so and I didn't think it was the place for me. Stayed east and trained in my home town. That hospital--MCP--closed a few years ago. One never forgets those training times and the place, but it's really the people that made it then. Some of us got together a week ago. I made the 110 mile trip just for the event. Worth every bit of it. Call those old friends--docs and nurses alike--and get together. Time is passing and sadly not just buildings--people too. /S
