Lifesaving information for preventing
hospital mistakes
, neglect, and infections
At some point in life, most of us will have to pay the hospital a visit, whether it''s for routine surgery, to have a baby, or for a full-blown emergency. Hospitals are a necessary part of life. Yet while they do save lives, they''re also responsible for 100,000 accidental deaths and many more injuries each year - from human errors to faulty techniques to malfunctioning equipment to wanton carelessness. "Protect Yourself in the Hospital" arms you with practical and possibly lifesaving advice to make sure these tragic errors don’t happen to you or someone you love
From the ER to the OR and every unit in between, "Protect Yourself in the Hospital" provides you with the knowledge you need to feel safe and secure in the hospital. Written by a registered nurse and legal consultant, this lifesaving guide covers such topics as
• Making sure the correct body part is operated on
• How to prevent bedsores and hospital-acquired infections
• Ways to advocate for yourself or a loved one without alienating hospital staff
• How to avoid the rampant problem of hospital-induced anemia
Learn how to recognize hospital situations that are likely to cause injury or death so that you can protect yourself in the hospital.
Thomas A. Sharon, R.N., M.P.H., is a registered nurse with vast experience in a variety of hospitals. For the past eighteen years he has been a legal consultant, advising attorneys on hundreds of cases in which hospitals have been accused of preventable errors.
