Murtha Dies From Medical Mistake

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports today that Pennsylvania's longest-serving congressman died Monday because of the mistakes of his doctors. The 77-year-old legislator underwent routine gallbladder surgery Jan. 28, under the care of doctors at the National Naval Medical Center outside of Washington, D.C. Sources close to Murtha told the paper that his intestine was accidentally nicked during a laparoscopic gallbladder procedure. That nick turned into an infection that eventually took the congressman's life.

Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is fairly common -- a majority of patients who have gallbladder surgery choose the procedure because it requires only small incisions and offers a rapid recovery. How can a common medical procedure go so wrong? And is there anything patients can do to protect themselves? Besser will tackle those questions tonight.
