Injured patients who want to help and be heard,

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.

Whistleblower Protection
Just a note to give you something else to search on in the Web. On March 14,
2007 the United States House of Representatives passed HR 985, the The
Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2007. Mostly it restates current
law. But if you look it up, perhaps you can find a way to be protected while you
do your good deed.
Wikipedia is a good place to start for more about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower
Books:
“Extraordinary Circumstances: The Journey of a Corporate Whistle-blower” by
Cynthia Cooper
"The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman" by
Peter Rost
I don't cover this more here because there already is so much
you can find with a search on the web.
