Thomas Jefferson said that given the choice between government without newspapers and newspapers without government, he would choose to have newspapers.

In medicine we have government without newspapers. Patients cannot find out what they need to know to make informed choices. No one in medicine records or reports the information patients need to know the most. So patients will have to.

A Note About This Site

Patient safety is too unstudied for legislators and other regulators to make intelligent policy decisions. When someone approaches patient safety in the manner of Upton Sinclair, or like Alexis de Tocqueville journeying through it, that person is taken to task for not crunching numbers and making a science out of the trip. No one can make a science out of the trip yet. The data for that does not exist and cannot be collected under current circumstances.

I didn't want to know about this

I interviewed people. I read and researched and surveyed and watched what happened with my case. Why didn't the nurses stop was done to me? Why didn't they report the surgeon? Why didn't they ask me if I was all right after he stopped? The answers to these questions have a lot to do with why so many people die unnecessarily in medicine every year.

All that is necessary is for other people to do nothing

Why didn't the doctors I went to for help afterwards turn him in? Why don't they have a record of what I reported to them? Why don't they record the injuries and stories of the other victims of medical misadventures? Especially in the age of mandatory reporting?

Why is the surgeon who XXXXXXXXXX me allowed to continue to have access to other patients with no reprimand, no supervision, and nothing to stop him from doing anything he wants to any patient he wants anytime he wants? Why is the hospital's only response to silence me when they have someone like that reaching inside of other unsuspecting patients?

Why do we allow this to be what's normal? Why can I not even use my own case as an example?
