Tendríamos a la progresía internacional a pleno denunciando los horrores de la medicina con fines de lucro.
Yo sigo sin entender.

Another week, another hospital scandal. The story is beginning to be all too familiar: dozens of patients dying needlessly, in filthy conditions that would shame a Third World country.

As a result, about 70 people in the care of the Basildon and Thurrock trust may have died needlessly: its mortality rate is a third higher than the national average.
