Oh dear god, that's disgusting.

"Blah...obviously more liberul welfare leeches looking to start some more frivolous lawsuits against one of the country's finest healthcare facilities. Not like it was cat urine or anything. Good thing our leader GWB is looking to stamp out these blatant abuses of the legal system!"

(just summing up the expected RW response ;))

The mix-up apparently occurred when an elevator company drained hydraulic fluid into empty detergent barrels last summer. The detergent supplier later picked up the barrels and mistakenly redistributed them as washing fluid.

Redistributed the barrels??? As bad as the hydraulic fluid mix up is, does this mean they routinely switch barrels of used washing fluid between hospitals?
