Malpractice Around the World
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11457552 The United States conducted testing on Guatemalans. Guatemala gave permission for the US to test on their citizens. The 700 victims of the testing were infected with Gonorrhea and Syphilis from prostitutes. The doctors wanted to test whether they had penicillin to prevent these diseases, not //cure// them. The President of Guatemala says this was a "crime against humanity." The people being tested were completely unaware that they were a part of an experiment. The patients that were diagnosed the diseases from the tests were treated but it is unknown how many patients actually recovered. The US told Guatemala that they promise to investigate the case.

When the woman started having problems like fever and back pain her doctors did not send the information about the patient to the Yale experts, did not treat her accordingly like the experts had suggested, and hid the plan for her care from her. Her son almost did not make it through her labor because of an E. Coli infection and only lived for 51 days. Check out how her case in court turns out.
