Greatest Cause of Death

While we often think of hospitals as places of healing and safety, the reality is that medical mistakes can and do happen. From misdiagnoses and medication errors to surgical mistakes and infections, there are many ways in which medical care can go wrong. But the good news is that there are steps we can take to reduce the risk of medical mistakes and to ensure that we receive safe and effective care.

By being informed and involved in our own care, asking questions, and speaking up if we have concerns, we can help to prevent mistakes and ensure that we receive the best possible care. Of course, healthcare providers also have a responsibility to prioritize patient safety and to take steps to minimize the risk of mistakes.
