Edgerton Hospital given 22 citations after staff left ER

Edgerton Hospital staff, in responding to a patient's and a nurse's cardiac arrests on the same morning, left two other patients alone in the emergency room, according to an inspection report. The hospital was given 22 state and federal citations for problems related to the Aug. 9 events, including not having enough staff. Five of the federal citations were serious enough to warrant a determination of "immediate jeopardy," the most serious category of violation. Full Story: Wisconsin State Journal
