Each year in the U.S., a quarter of a million deaths are attributable to medical err. If the number shocks, on some level you already knew it was so. Everyone knows someone-perhaps it was yourself-who has suffered miserable treatment in American hospitals, part of the most elabate, most extensive and expensive health care system in the wld. But it is perhaps the most inefficient. 

Misdiagnoses, wrong prescriptions, operating on the wrong patient, even operating on the wrong limb (and amputating it): these are the consequences of rampant carelessness, overwk, ignance, and hospitals trying to get the most out of their caregivers and the most money out of their patients. 

What are we to do? Killer Care lays out the very real danger each of us faces whenever we enter a hospital. But me than that, it spells out what we can do to mitigate that risk. The book is also the sty of the remarkable heroes fighting this plague of medical errs-patients and their families, but also docts and nurses. Starting about twenty years ago, a number of victims and even some perpetrats of these errs began a social movement that offers us vital protections when we are most vulnerable: they have begun a cultural shift that is transfming every facet of health care.
