Kidnapped' by the Mayo Clinic; Death by Colonoscopy; Health Officials' Secret Finances

"Kidnapped" by the Mayo Clinic

Two years ago, 18-year-old Alyssa Gilderhus suffered a brain aneurysm during the Christmas holidays. Gilderhus was then placed at the Mayo Clinic for treatment. But she and her family didn't like the care she was given and wished to transfer to a different hospital. The Mayo Clinic said no and even tried to get legal guardianship over the young woman.

Death By Colonoscopy?

Many times, common procedures turn deadly, and an investigation by Kaiser Health Newsand USA Today network found lax regulations for outpatient centers where these deaths happen. In 17 states, if patients die or are severely injured in one, there is no way to report that the death was after outpatient surgery center care.
