make good decisions as physicians and hospital administrators concerning the safety of your own staff, you shouldn't be in the business. Remember, government should not be telling physicians how to treat patients or run their hospitals according to the RWingers like Palin and Rush and Hannity. Why listen to the government anyway if you hate it so much?
Government puts out "guidelines" lest it be accused of being dictatorship. It's up to private hospitals to have enough expertise to deal with medical emergencies etc. Now the wingers want to say that government is the problem because they don't regulate enough... But I thought that doctors were the real experts in medicine??
