Prices are also 9% lower than at the big hospitals in town, says Jon Soderholm, the heart hospital's president. (Sanford says it's impossible to accurately compare prices.) The only thing that the heart hospital is guilty of, in Soderholm's mind, is having a 70% market share.
These include Harold Shipman's conviction for murder, the Bristol heart scandal and, most recently, the case of disgraced gynaecologist Rodney Ledward who was found guilty of botching operations on scores of women over many years.
