Summary
Ascension Saint Thomas hospitals in Nashville narrowly avoided losing Medicare funding after a deadly drug mix-up exposed systemic failures — but the reprieve comes with a nine-month deadline and a stern warning: major safety issues like expired supplies, filthy ORs, and surgical fire risks remain unresolved.
