Feds say state hospital unsafe

Federal regulators have taken another shot at the Vermont State Hospital over what it calls a failure to provide a safe environment. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services criticized the hospital after it was disclosed that a patient hoarded medication and other items. Hospital officials found 52 Tylenol pills and 16 antacid tablets in a patient's room along with aluminum foil, tongue depressors, energy drinks and 30 boxes of cereal. Commissioner Michael Hartman of the Department of Mental Health, says the state is appealing the finding.
