This man went in for a laparoscopic gallbladder removal on July 9. During the procedure, a surgeon accidentally nicked or punctured his aorta; the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The surgeon was able to repair the leak enough to save his life, but the aorta began leaking and disrupted the blood supply to his legs.
Read was flown from Travis Air Force Base to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento where doctors told family that the damage was from a lack of blood. The damage was permanent and parts of Travis' leg needed to be removed. Since then, Travis has been through 10 surgeries to remove dead tissue from his legs.
Officials at Travis Air Force Bases are investigating the "serious medical incident." The case is under investigation by the base, a national hospital accrediting commission and the U.S. surgeon general.
This case is devastating, but unfortunately there are thousands of cases where routine surgeries go terribly wrong. There are both good and bad doctors out there so make sure to really check out your doctor and get a feel for who they really are.
One of the problems not only with doctors, or medical schools but in every school is cheating. Cheating is a huge problem that affects not only k-12 education, but also in higher education.
There are lots of ways students can cheat but still get a degree without knowing anything. Can you think of anything more frightening than ending up on the operating table with an inexperienced and unknowledgeable doctor?
Cheating can have dire consequences, especially in the medical field. If you are putting your life in someone else's hands you want to know that they did more than successfully cheat on a test. Patients want to know that their doctor worked really hard and that they are knowledgeable and well-qualified.

Wait, let me rephrase that: cheaters are stupid. You go to school to learn and to gain credibility through attainment of a diploma, so you can hold it up to a prospective employer and say, “Yeah, I’m legit.” Post-high school, people actually pay money for this opportunity. So it doesn’t make any sense when you hear of cheating becoming so prevalent in today’s universities. That’s like buying lunch, throwing it in the trash without eating it, and then showing off the receipt just to show that you ate there. Like I said: stupid.
There are a thousand sorry excuses out there about why cheating is happening and even why it is more acceptable now. So-called experts will claim that it shows a greater level of intelligence when students find “shortcuts.” Relativists will assert that constructs like test rules are outdated and that kids can’t be expected to obey those archaic things.
Just to show how foolish these arguments are, let us take a quantum leap into the future where these kids are running the businesses, homes, and government of America. Imagine, if you will, these kids finding “shortcuts” to providing for their families. Imagine them deciding that the laws of our society, like driving on the right side of the road, selling drugs, and not hurting others, are outdated and that they shouldn’t have to follow them anymore. Pretty scary.
Picture them at the workplace without even a foundational knowledge of the concepts they will need to be successful. When it comes to cheaters, you really have no guarantee that they will do anything they say they will do or that they will follow any rules.
Given the frightening consequences of tolerating cheating, schools and parents need to take action now to teach the valuable lesson that cheaters never prosper.
