Injured patients who want to help and be heard, click here.
Thomas Jefferson said that given the choice between government without newspapers and newspapers without government, he would choose 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 do it.

Stencils and Spray Chalk and
A Symbol for Patient Safety
I created stencils to make this sign and mailed the stencils
to the
Walk for Patient Safety
(www.LeapforPatientSafety.org)
When I learned that they were using an inkjet to print their signs on 11 by 17 paper, I emailed to them the artwork for the sign below instead.
I told them that if anyone questions the layout to say that the lines around patient safety are being crossed all the time.
I also mailed twenty stencils for marking the blue chalk-outline on pavement.
Maybe I should make a stencil that says
"Dead patients are not acceptable costs."
