The story begins as a nurse enters the hospital for surgery, expecting to stay one night. But surgeons unknowingly damage her intestines, beginning a chain of more tragic-and preventable-errors that lead to nearly a month on an ICU ventilator, additional surgeries, a drug-induced coma, and raging abdominal infections. Upon awakening, she tries to come to terms with what has happened. Her doctor tells her very little, forcing her to find the whole truth on her own. More than a narrative, Anatomy of Medical Errors: The Patient in Room 2 shines light on dysfunctions endemic to many hospitals and systems: flawed communication, poor care coordination, lack of ownership of outcomes, provider arrogance, and prioritization of finances over patient safety. Through the author's compelling story and discussion guide, this book provides an ethical and critical exploration for care providers seeking to improve patient care. Not just for healthcare staff, this tragic yet inspiring story wilt engage and inform all readers. Book jacket.
