Showing results for "Error" in Physical Illness & Disease

Each year in the US, a quarter of a million deaths are attributable to medical error. If the number shocks, on some level you already knew it was so. Everyone knows someone - perhaps it was yourself - who has suffered miserable treatment in American hospitals, part of the most elaborate, most extensive and expensive health-care system in the world. But it is perhaps the most inefficient. Misdiagnoses, wrong prescriptions, operating on the wrong patient, even operating on the wrong limb (and amputating it).

Host Lucien Graves dissects the hidden architecture of clinical catastrophe, revealing how minor missteps in healthcare settings chain together into devastating outcomes. Each episode examines how small errors cascade through complex medical systems, turning routine care into tragedy.
