Fatal Care: Survive in the
U.S. Health
System~$25.95
Written by
Sanjaya Kumar MD
©2008
Each year as
many as 98,000 patient deaths occur
in the U.S. as a result of
preventable medical errors in
hospitals. Preventable medical
errors alone impact or harm at
least 5 million Americans annually,
costing more than $17-21 billion.
These sobering statistics from the
Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the
Institute for Healthcare
Improvement (IHI) provide a glimpse
into a national crisis that harms
or kills hundreds of innocent
people each day. But they are only
nameless, faceless numbers and
can’t illustrate the human
cost behind the data. Moreover,
they only reveal the problem and
not the underlying causes or
potential solutions. Fatal Care
takes readers behind the statistics
and into the lives of those who
have experienced, first hand, the
impact of what these numbers
represent. Their individual stories
embody all of the drama and tension
found in popular medical series
television productions. The
portraits of these flesh-and-blood
characters and their families will
resonate with readers and draw them
into the events and their lives.
Readers will be reminded of people
in their own lives who have had
similar experiences. Fatal Care is
unique and unlike other
healthcare-related books, blending
true, real-life dramas that
illustrate gaps in the healthcare
system with factual information and
analysis for healthcare consumers
and professionals. Every case in
this book brings to life the chain
of events that led to mishaps, and
proposes solutions to prevent
future mistakes and protect future
patients. Fatal Care: Survive in
