Medical Errors

This course will expose the most common medical mistakes, from doctors offices and hospitals to the pharmacy counters and nursing homes. The death toll from healthcare screw ups add up to at least 500,000 Americans annually. That is the equivalent of more than 3 jumbo jets crashing every day of the year. Each year, 6.1 million Americans are harmed by diagnostic mistakes, drug disasters, and medical treatments. Because these individuals are dying at home, in hospitals, or in nursing homes, no one is counting the bodies.
