I applaud you! I can't wait to purchase this book, as you will know from reading my bio the medical error that almost killed my wife.
You mentioned the cost to hospitals for medical errors. The cost of fighting and winning, or worse yet losing a malpractice suit, if you could even get a case going at all for less than loss of life or limb, and a minimum of $50k to start it, as several lawyers have told me, is astronomical to the family or individual, even if death doesn't occur. Lives is ruined either way. The cost of that is calculable to recover from, whether physical death or metaphorical death occurred in your nightmare. I could go on...but I will read the book, when I can afford to purchase it, since I had to quit my job to take care of my wife, due to a hospital medical "error."
