Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. A good book and good to see from the inside out. My primary complaint it, I'm pretty sure most people reading it would already know and agree, thus he's preaching to the choir. The people for whom it should be intended, and to affect change because of it, either won't read it, will discredit it, ignore it or won't care. Because it's all about the money and the people who have the power to make essential changes never will. Which is why this book is interesting but won't change a thing. Not the author's fault. Kudos to him for trying. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In 1991, the Institute of Medicine released a landmark report, which revealed that as many as 98,000 patients were dying every year owing to avoidable medical error. More recent research indicates that estimate was, if anything, a drastic understatement of the patient-safety epidemic in the US health care system. In Malpractice, neurosurgeon and attorney Dr. Larry Schlachter makes a case that most patients enter the system without any idea of the risks they face, due to a medical culture that denies there is a patient safety problem. He argues that medical culture actively avoids transparency, perpetuates an atmosphere of blind deference to doctors, and protects dangerous doctors from any accountability. Drawing on 23 years of experience, Dr. Schlachter provides unbelievable stories that illustrate the host of risks patients face whenever they seek diagnostic evaluation or go under the knife. This book provides an all-access pass to the inner sanctums of the health care citadel, exposing the cultural flaws that fuel doctor's egos and outlining the steps every patent should take to protect himself or herself.
