内容简介

"This updated edition includes the latest findings on patient safety by two of the foremost authorities on medical mistakes. "Two dynamic physician-professors investigate (and re-investigate) the rampant errors endemic to modern medical care and suggest ways to prevent hospitals and doctors from inadvertently killing their patients. Emerging from these compelling stories and provocative insights is a powerful case for change-by policymakers, hospitals, doctors, nurses, and even patients and their families. Wachter and Shojania underscore the depth and breadth of dangers in medical care; more important, they suggest basic safety procedures and hard-nosed remedies that could make erratic systems fail-safe and save countless lives.
