Practicing physician and well-known author Danielle Ofri examines how medical error could be eliminating 10% of patients and causing 33% of healthcare facility deaths. Shocking success has been the dominant style in medicine for centuries, that story leaves no area for discussion around the possible adverse results of medical treatment. Through research study and interviews with physicians, nurses, administrators, and lots of patients, Dr. Ofri explores the reasons for medical mistake, and indicate the modifications required to reduce threat of unfavorable outcomes– consisting of death. She promotes for modifications as small (and shown) as lists and as big as full-blown culture shifts in the relationship between medical personnel and their clients. Woven through the book is the particularly traumatic tale of one patient, Jay, whose experience with an apparently innocuous error most likely expense him his life. These stories force us to reassess what takes place when the medical system does us damage.
