About this listen

What to expect in this episode:

This episode is part 1 of a 2-part series discussing the "basics" of health care. It might seem boring, but it is foundational. Why? Knowledge is power. You don't know what you don't know.

In this episode, I will explain what a preventable medical error is. What is a "never" event? And what is patient safety? I will include facts, research, data, and statistics to educate you, the patient.

Most people are aware of the data, but they do not think a preventable medical error will ever happen to them...until it does.
