The Associated Press erroneously reported Oct. 15 that a patient
had a broken bone that went undiagnosed for four weeks at a Durham
nursing home being fined for lax patient care.
The state Department of Human Resources, which provided the
incorrect information, reported Friday that the nursing home did not
discover the fracture for 23 hours. by CNB
