The hospital that initially said it could NOT have made a mistake gave a humbling report today to the board that oversees it.
The University of Virginia Board of Visitors is in Charlottesville for its quarterly meeting-- just one day after a third variation on baby switching at U-V-A was made public.

Keith they have made contact with the woman whose miscarried fetal remains were separated from the placental remains.
That's the two year old mistake that just surfaced this week after the Governor learned of it.
On top of the original baby switch, and then the Roanoke woman who picked up the wrong deceased infant-- this third incident has made for what U-V-A'S visibly shaken Vice President called an "extremely painful" year.

One thing reporters learned this week was that baby switching and misplacing of fetal remains are reported to the state Division of Risk Management.
Those reports are kept secret from us so agencies won't be afraid to report and correct deficiencies.
But when we asked Board member Charles Caravati if he could find out if there are any OTHER skeletons in the closet at UVA hospital, he said he could find out, but had NOT asked.
Several board members hope they've heard it all now, Keith.
