Political Factoid
If you are admitted to the hospital
on the weekend, you are 10 percent
more likely to die than if you had
checked in during the week.
"In other words, an extra 20 to 25 thousand
people die each year in the United States
because of admission on a weekend."
-- Dr. Rocco Ricciardi, Tufts University Medical School
