Family Secrets: Switched at Birth
Family Secrets: Switched at Birth - CBS News
(CBS) It's not uncommon for adopted children to go searching for their birth parents. In fact, in most states, laws have made it easier for them to do so.
But sometimes, the circumstances that separate a parent from a child can be much more complicated - and baffling. For instance, imagine discovering that the child you loved and raised for years wasn't really your own.
Correspondent Erin Moriarty has the story of two families, a father's hunch and an investigation that transformed their lives forever. This broadcast first aired last December.

Patient Safety Tip of the Week Archive
Here’s a topic where we really are asking our readers for their input and opinions. Mercy Medical Center in Williston, North Dakota had an incident this past September in which the wrong baby was given to a mother at discharge. The error was recognized within hours and both babies were reunited with their correct mothers promptly. Last week Mercy Medical held a press conference in which they transparently disclosed the details of the incident (maintaining patient confidentiality, of course) and the results of the subsequent root cause analysis (RCA). We applaud Mercy Medical for their actions. Not only do their actions bring credibility to themselves but they also raise the issue for all other hospitals to address. We challenge each and every hospital to honestly answer the question “Could that have happened here?”. Most will probably say “I really don’t know. Certainly the human error element could happen here. But I’m not sure if our safety net and safety systems would prevent the actual adverse outcome.”
