Reeve was being treated at Northern Westchester Hospital for a pressure wound that he developed, a common complication for people living with paralysis. In the past week, the wound had become severely infected, resulting in a serious systemic infection.
This makes me angry because it means his death was completely avoidable!!! My teachers in nursing used to tell us that there was no excuse for pressure sores they are avoidable.
